I just see too many people retire and say 'I'm going to take off travel spend time with my family' and they are just miserable. They end up dying. People who work and stay active and like what they are doing live longer.

As far as 'Twilight' goes I'm in love with my character. I'm in love with the whole series. I love doing the fan conventions around the world I love to travel. So wherever it fits in I'd love to continue doing that for the rest of my life. Just meeting the fans who made everything possible from around the world.

Each day as I travel through downtown Tucson I am amazed at how quickly the most ancient of human behaviors have changed. For as long as there have been Homo sapiens - roughly 200 000 years - people have filled their lives principally with two activities: talking directly with other people and doing physical things.

A travel book is about someone who goes somewhere travels on the ground sees something and spends quite a lot of time doing it and has a hard time and then comes back and writes about it. It's not about inventing.

I stepped away to find out more about myself which I was having difficulty doing as a football player. I got a chance to travel the world. I studied Eastern philosophy and I've grown as a person so much.

A lot of people would be embarrassed to admit that they were on 'Barney' but I embrace the fact. I just had such a wonderful time doing that show. I learned what a camera and prop is and all that. I learned my manners too so I guess that's a good thing!

You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it.

What will I be doing in twenty years' time? I'll be dead darling! Are you crazy?

The boys of my people began very young to learn the ways of men and no one taught us we just learned by doing what we saw and we were warriors at a time when boys now are like girls.

I'm in prison. But my heart and mind is free. Gangsta haters on the streets are doing more time than me. They need 30 police escorts with them every time they walk down the street.

My two secrets to staying healthy: wash your hands all the time. And if you can't use Purell or one of the sanitizers. And the other is hot peppers. I eat a lot of hot peppers. I for some reason started doing that in 1992 and I swear by it.

Leisure is the time for doing something useful. This leisure the diligent person will obtain the lazy one never.

I've done it all. I'm thankful and proud of what I've accomplished in my life. I hope to keep doing it.

I'm very thankful to be doing what I'm doing. I feel very blessed.

All I ever wanted really and continue to want out of life is to give 100 percent to whatever I'm doing and to be committed to whatever I'm doing and then let the results speak for themselves. Also to never take myself or people for granted and always be thankful and grateful to the people who helped me.

I think I am too old to be doing teen movies. I am just kind of annoyed because you have all these teen movies coming out with usually either Lindsay Lohan or Hilary Duff doing four of the exact teen movies over and over again.

If you try to bring 'teen drama ' you end up doing nothing but pouting.

I think anybody who's doing work in their teen years on TV or in the movies you're a teen idol by default.

They were marketing me as a teen idol when the stuff on the record was not what teen idols were doing at the time.

I wasn't going to have fun doing a teen movie again.

The most essential thing for us was to get the business model right then put the world-class technology under it to support it. At Merrill that meant not doing what people expected.

It's so exciting to be doing radio on the cutting edge of technology. Being in on something new is the biggest thrill in the world.

It is only by the rational use of technology to control and guide what technology is doing that we can keep any hopes of a social life more desirable than our own: or in fact of a social life which is not appalling to imagine.

For behaviorist films that's been much more useful - the change of technology - but for my kind of films doing them on film is much better because it's more beautiful.
