Personally, I don't tend to go into casting sessions. I try not to have a preconceived notion in my head because it just reduces my options or ability to find someone cool.

Sometimes when I get home after a long day, I'll turn on music - I love Latin, disco, and pop - and do my own workout, even if it's a short one. Know a good song to work out to? 'I Will Survive.

Just because no one has been fortunate enough to realize how wonderful you are, doesnt mean you shine any less.

I like pretty conservative guys, good guys. I always look for the qualities I find in my father.

Lying about anything is the cruelest thing in the world you could ever do. Be who you are. Don't try to be someone you're not. It never works.

The number one thing I look for in a man is integrity. A man who does what he says he's going to do.

When I stopped doing ballet, I started training in the pool. I would do my barre exercises in the water, because that prevents injuries.

I still dance, probably three times a week, unless I'm working on a crazy job, and then I just don't have any free time at all.

But goodness alone is never enough. A hard, cold wisdom is required for goodness to accomplish good. Goodness without wisdom always accomplishes evil.

That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to the pertinent answer.

B.O.B. and I have a longtime understanding - when we're done with each other, we know exactly which one of us has been used, and it isn't me. Good night Gideon.

You would never know what you are truly capable of until quitting is no longer a way out.

I've never left China. My family's been there for 600 years. But my architecture is not consciously Chinese in any sense. I'm a western architect.

Whenever I write for hotel reservations, I always enclose a set of rules I have made for the hotels.

... life itself is brief, and that is what charges the day with such ridiculous beauty.

Discipling involves instruction and imitation.

I trust to luck. I am planning to be a millionaire before I die but I don't have a plan as to how that will happen.
