The people that matter to me the most are the people that are in my life. That's who I really learn from, and it's always a very personal kind of connection.

In general, I try to eat food without added hormones and pesticides, but I'm not so strict that I won't have a Big Mac once in a while.

Three to four times a week, I get up at 7:30 A.M. while the courts are empty at Venice Beach and play full court one-on-one.

I wanted to go on the red carpet with a baseball cap, t-shirt, and jeans. And I still do. Because that's really who I am.

I really, really admire my parents so much, for how they raised me. They're some of the best human beings I know.

You won't ever see me being totally sexy on 'Rookie Blue.' It's not right for the character, anyway.

I don't watch the news. I get really emotional about it, and I carry that stuff with me for a long time.

I tried to be really tough when I was younger. I felt I had to stand up for myself. I never felt like I fit in.

You can never totally control your ego, but you can understand it enough to make it control itself by convincing it that you are doing what it wants.

It had taken her a good deal of time before she believed that she was worth all that fierce affection he lavished upon her. To have it stolen away unjustly was that much more cruel.

You can have no dominion greater or less than that over yourself.

Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language.

You owe it to yourself to be yourself.

Technology as the knack of eliminating the world as resistance,... the technologist's worldlessness.... My mistake lay in the factthat we technologists try to live without death.

If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing.

A man may fulfill the object of his existence by asking a question he cannot answer, and attempting a task he cannot achieve.
