All I wanted, to be petite and attractive. I was afraid I'd never stop growing.

If you risk nothing, then you risk everything.

Archers are pretty focused.

Archery is something that I took up later and didn't know I had a natural aptitude for.

Kids need to see entertainment where females are valued as much as males.

The main thing about archery is a battle with yourself. You can ruin it all. Once you have learned the technique, the point is to recreate the perfect technique over and over and over.

Look at the number of cop shows and lawyer shows and forensics shows... I think there could be room for two quite different examinations of the same political office.

So many female characters are the girlfriend of the person having the adventure. I want to play baseball, I don't want to be the girlfriend of the one [who plays].

I wish I knew who said it, but my favorite quote is, "If a person can do it, I can do it."

It's partly because our culture so hyper-sexualizes females that if you don't measure up to whatever we're forced to think is the standard, then you feel inadequate.

Rise up to wise up.

I had some big ups and downs when I was in my 20s and the one thing I learned was, no matter how low it gets, something good will come along - something always comes out of that dark period.

Nothing is wrong about giving a rose to someone you like or love.

What is the most important duty? One's duty toward one's parent.

I grew up with an artist father, and my parents' friends were also mainly artists or writers, so he connects what I do with his example.

In quiet moments when you think about it, you recognize what is critically important in life and what isn't. Be wise and don't let good things crowd out those that are essential.

Perhaps it is of more value to infuriate philosophers than to go along with them.
