I was an All-American in wrestling in high school was National Champion in Chinese kickboxing in 1999 and have spent a lot of time around professional athletes which includes my eight-plus years as CEO of a sports nutrition company.

In sports... you play from the time you're eight years old and then you're done forever.

There are kids who get on a BMX bike when they're eight years old and they go 'Whoa this is incredible ' and grow up to do extreme sports. It's the same for me with acting.

I like sports and I enjoy playing basketball and lifting weights.

Eighteen holes of match play will teach you more about your foe than 18 years of dealing with him across a desk.

I know what it feels like to carry a lot of weight in a society that's very image-conscious. It's a thin person's world and we try to navigate within it without being made fun of.

Pure phenomenology claims to be the science of pure phenomena. This concept of the phenomenon which was developed under various names as early as the eighteenth century without being clarified is what we shall have to deal with first of all.

Science has done more for the development of western civilization in one hundred years than Christianity did in eighteen hundred years.

I often feel like I have this spirit living inside of me always dressing in like short mini skirts... but then I start to discover myself. So there are eight spirits mischievous ones sad ones handsome ones wise ones and crazy ones.

I joined the air force. I took to it immediately when I arrived there. I did three years eight months and ten days in all but it took me a year and a half to get disabused of my romantic notions about it.

If a man lets all of my dogs sleep in the bed with us then that is the most romantic thing. You must love my dogs in order to love me. A man who is nice to my animals and doesn't shoo them away - well that's the height of romance.

The telephone which interrupts the most serious conversations and cuts short the most weighty observations has a romance of its own.

Although a lot of pain for a little screen time Shaving legs waxing eyebrows high heels trying to put on a bra losing weight because women's clothes are SO revealing - Ladies you have my respect.

In order to gain the respect of your players in the locker room you can't just perform on Saturday. You have to do it consistently during practices meetings and in the weight room.

Never respect men merely for their riches but rather for their philanthropy we do not value the sun for its height but for its use.

I found enormous opposition to my religion. It's like if you want to strengthen your biceps you lift heavy weight as heavy as you can handle and work your muscles against resistance until it grows strong. I had to do that with my religion.

Religion is not a burden not a weight it is wings.

Such are the heights of wickedness to which men are driven by religion.

We were in a relationship for eight years and we maybe saw each other total for a year.

I didn't have a boyfriend until I was 16 and he was eight years older. My father was furious about this 24-year-old and I had to hide the relationship.

Filming 'Eclipse' - Eclipse was my favorite book so I was really excited to start filming the movie. I just love that it's the height of the love triangle. 'Twilight' develops Edward and Bella's relationship 'New Moon' develops Jacob and Bella's and in 'Eclipse ' the three of them are physically together.

Having a studio tell you when to jump and how high eight months of the year for six years is not a relationship I want to get into again.

Another mode of accumulating power arises from lifting a weight and then allowing it to fall.

It was R.E.M. who showed other Eighties bands how to get away with ignoring the rules - they lived in some weird town nobody never heard of they didn't play power chords they probably couldn't even spell 'spandex.' All they had was songs.
