I was the type of person that would show a PowerPoint presentation about why I should do something versus crying and screaming over it.

I was home-schooled, was always very close with my mom and was very straight-laced and square. I was never the rebellious one, and I never threw hissy fits.

I was listening to a lot of Norwegian black metal and death metal. There's a great history to Norwegian black metal. That music is very dark and violent, but it's also beautiful.

I'm learning with the older that I get that some feelings are just universal and that I'm not the only one who hates their hair or their life at times.

I'm so used to swimming with the piranhas. And they're really not that bad.

There's a little Christmas in all of us, I guess. Even in me.

I am not willing to let the market-place determine the future of the animal kingdom.

I tend to look at potential investments from the standpoint of whether it is a valuable contribution to society.

I don't believe money is evil, but it can be terribly corrosive.

I have ventured to write more intimately about my personal life than is customary for a member of the Supreme Court, and with that candor comes a measure of vulnerability.

I used to read every golf magazine front to back; I was addicted to Golf Channel, read Rotella, read every golf book.

I look at a picture like Scarecrow and think, 'Jesus, how could they have let us make that?' I mean, if you used technology that old nowadays, it would look like old Hollywood.
