I am thrilled and honored to have a seat at the table for meaningful conversation with so many accomplished women in the sports world.

If you're passionate about something, you believe in it, then you have to be consistent. And you have to put in the hard work that it takes to be successful.

Sometimes your worst hits in life wind up being your best advantage. If only you could believe that when you're getting hit.

Sometimes if you don't physically attempt something, you don't realize how sick to your stomach or how hard it is.

I was one of those people who wasn't getting a lot of milk, so I had to pump forever to just get two ounces of milk. But, you know, I wasn't going to give up or stop.

Everyone wouldn't just accept that I wanted to be a fighter - because I wasn't someone that they envisioned could or would be a fighter.

Maybe if I completely shaved my head and get the frost out of my moustache, maybe I could get one of those serious acting jobs.

My father loves people. No matter what their race, no matter what their position in life, he treated everyone with kindness and love and respect. And that was instilled in me just by watching him.

If you knew you could change your lifestyle and diet and avoid heart disease and other things, you should do it.

Certainly it would be wonderful if we all knew exactly who we were.

This love of theirs, with its reassuring domesticity and its easy silences, its permanence, has yoked Sally directly to the machinery of mortality itself. Now there is a loss beyond imagining.

I was rather a goody-goody as a child... It was only later on I discovered that you could be naughty and get away with it.

You are capable of more than you realize. You are far more capable than you were even 12 months ago. Next year you will be able to do things you can't imagine doing today.

People never think about words, they only feel them.

Whoever does not philosophize for the sake of philosophy, but rather uses philosophy as a means, is a sophist.

My career should adapt to me. Fame is like a VIP pass wherever you want to go.

I just want to be a better actor. You can always get better.

If a young man at the age of twenty-three can write a symphony like that, in five years he will be ready to commit murder.

We always want to see people strive and see the human spirit triumph against adversity. That's what it's all about because that's what we're doing. We're trying to triumph in our lives.
