I've always been really active. I grew up playing sports so I'm always shooting hoops or throwing the football with my friends. I'm super-active in that sense.

The last few years I became a lot more into sports. Growing up the sports I liked were independent sports like skateboarding. I was really into skateboarding and not necessarily team televised sports.

Soccer and cricket were my main sports growing up. I had trials as a soccer player with a few clubs interested Crystal Palace being one but it was cricket which became my chosen profession.

Growing up in the time of Title IX - it was passed when I was 10 - I got a front-row seat to so many great moments in women's sports. Of course I didn't know it at the time.

I think they need to get a more reliable way of watching television on the laptop. Because I travel so much if I want to watch my favorite sports team it might not be showing in that place so I want a reliable way to watch whatever I want to watch on my laptop.

I was showing early symptoms of becoming a professional baseball man. I was lying to the press.

It seems to me that we're in danger of losing sight of certain basic civic values in society by allowing the growth of a whole generation of people who really have no sense of attachment to society.

You just let your lower self go and then it takes on all these aspects of the society - the city with horns blowing the people yelling things at each other and the all-in-all violence and chaos of the city. Put that on stage with music and that's what this is.

A free society will abide unofficial private discrimination even when that means allowing hate-filled groups to exclude people based on the color of their skin.

This society cannot go forward the way we have been going forward where the gap between the rich and the poor keeps growing. It's not politically viable it's not morally right it's just not going to happen.

There's an unconscious bias in our society: girls are wonderful boys are terrible. And to be a boy or young man growing up having to listen to all this it must be painful.

What I work hard at doing is staying on a path of being kind and showing and proving that I'm a good person to society. That's hard. The talent that's a gift. I just came here like that.

Today the world changes so quickly that in growing up we take leave not just of youth but of the world we were young in.

I just smile. And they - my opponents don't like it when I smile at them. They think I'm playing or something. But - like I smile throughout the whole fight. Sometimes I'll be throwing combinations and I just smile and stick my tongue out at them.

I wake up each and every day with a smile on my face knowing I get to do something musically.

Right now I'm following the Buddhist principle: Smile as abuse is hurled your way and this too shall pass.

There's no damn business like show business - you have to smile to keep from throwing up.

Allowing yourself to smile takes 99% of the effort.

In my family as in most middle-class Indian families I knew when I was growing up science and mathematics were held in awe.

The problem with allowing God a role in the history of life is not that science would cease but rather that scientists would have to acknowledge the existence of something important which is outside the boundaries of natural science.

The science of booby-trapping has taken a good deal of the fun out of following hot on the enemy's heels.

Evolutionary naturalism takes the inherent limitations of science and turns them into a devastating philosophical weapon: because science is our only real way of knowing anything what science cannot know cannot be real.

I told my father I had to try political science for a year. He thought I was throwing my life away.

We sat around on a hotel balcony with a bottle of wine and tried to figure out how you would go about blowing up a planet. That's the kind of conversations science fiction writers have when they get together. We don't talk about football or anything like that.
