As a former football player who has carried a football more than 4 000 times trust me I did not go into ballroom dancing with my body being 100 percent with no aches or pains or ailments coming with me. When you're dancing you're doing stuff that your body's not used to and so you start to aggravate those old injuries.

I trust the time is coming when the occupation of an instructor to children will be deemed the most honorable of human employment.

Because I'm always away coming home to a clean house means a lot to me. Trust me I've lived with a lot of roommates and straight guys are just kids who don't pick up after themselves.

We've got fuel prices coming down and good travel numbers coming out so it's not surprising airline stocks are going up.

I considered becoming a priest very seriously. I wanted to travel the world. By the time I turned 16 I realized I was only in it for selfish reasons. And more importantly I didn't want to sacrifice the ladies!

Through travel I first became aware of the outside world it was through travel that I found my own introspective way into becoming a part of it.

Don Quixote's 'Delusions' is an excellent read - far better than my own forthcoming travel book 'Walking Backwards Across Tuscany.'

We have so much pride in welcoming these passengers onto the plane and they have so much pride in travel. It's something that I definitely always remember when I'm playing a scene on the plane just to imbue everything with that sense of excitement.

Time always seems long to the child who is waiting - for Christmas for next summer for becoming a grownup: long also when he surrenders his whole soul to each moment of a happy day.

Waste is worse than loss. The time is coming when every person who lays claim to ability will keep the question of waste before him constantly. The scope of thrift is limitless.

I went from not knowing anything to becoming really curious and wanting to know and respecting people in the industry realizing how hard they work. I will always be thankful for 'Top Model' for that.

I think I am too old to be doing teen movies. I am just kind of annoyed because you have all these teen movies coming out with usually either Lindsay Lohan or Hilary Duff doing four of the exact teen movies over and over again.

You have teenagers thinking they're going to make millions as NBA stars when that's not realistic for even 1 percent of them. Becoming a scientist or engineer is.

Computer games tend to be boys' games warlike games with more violence. We have not spent enough time thinking through how to encourage more girls to be involved in computing before coming to college so they can see a possible career in information technology.

People are looking to have more meaning in their lives. It is a sign the technology community is coming of age.

Everything's changed. The technology is the big thing changing now the way movies like 'Alice' or 'Avatar' are made. And technology on the other side the audience side. Word spreads so fast now on a movie with the Internet and piracy is something coming down the line like in the music industry.

Ajax isn't a technology. It's really several technologies each flourishing in its own right coming together in powerful new ways.

I have argued above that we cannot prevent the Singularity that its coming is an inevitable consequence of the humans' natural competitiveness and the possibilities inherent in technology.

We've been co-evolving with our technology for a hundred thousand years. Human beings and the technology we make were always inseparable. We're finally coming into this moment where it's coming inside our body for the first time in history.

I know there are lots of positives in the evolution of technology but I also think it will be responsible for the end of a unique character of a specific kind of geographical culture. The world is getting so small and mass production is getting so big. Everything is in danger of becoming the same.

With all the technology we're inventing and what they're coming up with scientifically people are having longer lifetimes. It's scary but in the same sense it's also very exciting.

In the case of my book I don't think it's really the coming-out gay novel that everyone really needed even though it was received as such. The boy is too creepy he betrays his teacher the only adult man with whom he's enjoyed a sexual experience etc.

I had a great movement teacher - he showed me how to walk so I wasn't becoming like a cartoon.

Writing became an obsessive compulsive habit but I had almost no money so I thought about being an urban firefighter and having lots of free time in which to write or becoming an English teacher and thinking about books and writers on a daily basis. That swayed me.
