I'm just really thankful to have the chance to portray a character you don't see every day.

I love going to Africa and stuff. I love going anywhere really but I've been to Africa a bunch of times and it's just a beautiful place that needs help obviously but helping people that are really thankful is really easy to do. And the people out there always seem so thankful.

I want to let my fans get to know a little about me. I'm very thankful for everything they've done for me so of course I'm going to let them into my world a bit. But I really am a very private person and I love kepping my life to myself - that's how I've always been.

Even now when I try and think of band names just randomly I'm so thankful that 'fun.' is the name of the band. I never really think twice about it. It is so simple and so easy.

If you are really thankful what do you do? You share.

We sing a little song before we eat a little blessing before we eat and it's really - we're thanking the Lord and the Earth for the food that we eat and it really brings you together in a profound kind of way.

I'm really looking forward to the Hall of Fame ceremonies. It's going to be unbelievable - just crazy. I'm looking forward to thanking all the fans for inspiring me to go out there and play my best football each and every game.

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.

To be honest I haven't seen a lot of the current crop of teen movies because there's only so much time and there's nothing that really drives me to do it.

I really liked 'Starter For Ten' because I grew up watching 1980s teen films like 'St. Elmo's Fire' and 'The Breakfast Club' and I've always wanted to play the underdog lead hero in a 1980s-inspired film.

Being a teen can be tough. Just try to surround yourself with really good friends that really have your back and also be a really good friend to those who really care about you. If you're not sure about certain things talk to your friends that you trust and your family.

I have this sense that I didn't really start growing up until my twenties.

Well I could do it for a day but I wouldn't want to be a teenager again. I really wouldn't.

We never really grow up we only learn how to act in public.

Social networking technology didn't really exist until 2004-2005. I had the idea to use this technology to bridge this gap between a general interest in addressing social issues and the practical action.

I can't live without my smartphone but I really geek on coding. It's not so much technology that I like but puzzle solving.

We have the new greatest generation. We don't need as large a military due to the technology we have the equipment we have outfitting our personnel. They really are storm troopers.

This really is a merger of equals. I wouldn't have come back to work for anything less than this fantastic opportunity. This lets me combine my two great loves - technology and biscuits.

I really believe that we don't have to make a trade-off between security and privacy. I think technology gives us the ability to have both.

And so when I moved to IBM I moved because I thought I could apply technology. I didn't actually have to do my engineer - I was an electrical engineer but I could apply it. And that was when I changed. And when I got there though I have to say at the time I really never felt there was a constraint about being a woman. I really did not.

Technology has saved us money in some circumstances but it has really afforded us the ability to cover stories from locations we might not have been able to in the past.

All this technology for connection and what we really only know more about is how anonymous we are in the grand scheme of things.

Some people are really drawn to technology and I liken them to artists.

The technology is really where all of the changes have taken place but the fundamentals of a good story being the basis of every good picture and really the only basis still remains the rule more so today I think because we've unfortunately weaned an audience from birth to kind of mindless movies.
