When I was younger my coach Liang Chow made all the decisions. I would go to the gym for practice do exactly what Chow told me to do go home come back and start all over again. If Chow told me to do 50 squat jumps I did 50 squat jumps.

The thing about being at home versus being out in the world working is it's a whole different vibe. When I'm home with my kids and partner I will cook - even though she's a very good cook. She's learned over the years. We started with basics you know how to saute onions how to saute mushrooms.

You want to come home to a nice firm bed with the corners tucked in so you start over like each night is like a new night.

David Lee Roth had the idea that if you covered a successful song you were half way home. C'mon - Van Halen doing 'Dancing in the Streets'? It was stupid. I started feeling like I would rather bomb playing my own songs than be successful playing someone else's music.

When I stop working I go out and start working again. Most people paint a picture or whatever they do and go home. For me it has to be continuous.

When I started editing on my home computer I said to myself 'Well I could be at home studying for a class or I could be at home editing a video.'

Those who were cowards never started and those who were weak were lost on the way but the brave find a home in every land.

I actually do think you're seeing this trend towards organizations just caring more about their brand and engaging. And so I think Home Depot will want to humanize itself. I think that's a lot of why companies are starting blogs are just giving more insight into what's going on with them.

I think that the entertainment industry itself has a history of chasing success. Any time a hit product comes out all the other companies start chasing after that success and trying to recreate it by putting out similar products.

It was a Greek tragedy. Nixon was fulfilling his own nature. Once it started it could not end otherwise.

When I gave birth to my fourth child I suffered from post partum hemorrhaging. I almost lost my life. I was lucky to be under the care of trained health care personnel. I started wondering then what was happening to women in rural villages.
