Even the simplest things, I'm guilty of making really bad decisions a lot of the time.

I don't know what my version of a relationship or marriage is yet, because the typical model seems a little broken to me.

I like to do weird things in the shower, like drink my coffee, brush my teeth and drink a smoothie. It's good time management.

I don't believe that life is linear. I think of it as circles - concentric circles that connect.

I want to be like water. I want to slip through fingers, but hold up a ship.

I love teaching people how to handle their money and I've built a brand on that skill.

And of course in America you've got American football and baseball and all those other ball games, soccer has become a little niche that the women have kind of filled.

I don't build character. I eliminate the people who don't have it.

The battle for the airwaves cannot be limited to only those who have the bank accounts to pay for the battle and win it.
