You wake up one day and you realize that all these years have gone by and I have this mortgage and I have this couch and I have this life and... is this going to be my prison?
I love the village in my computer. There's little validation in the day-to-day life of a writer; sometimes we ache for a connection.
At the end of the day, whether or not those people are comfortable with how you're living your life doesn't matter. What matters is whether you're comfortable with it.
Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
Not one day of my mother's adult life passed without some critical demand on her maternal role, without some urgent response from her.
For me, skateboarding is a lifestyle. I really don't know anything different. My life revolves around skating. If I wasn't a professional skateboarder, I'd still be skating every day.
You definitely have to be focused at certain times in your life and in your career, but at the end of the day, there's only so much you can do. Then you just have to chock it up to fate.
Psychologists say don't expect your life to be happy all the time. I go with the philosophy that every day can't be tops. Life is not like that - it's up and down.
People in day-to-day life tend to skim the surface of things and be polite and careful, and that's not the language I speak. I like talking about feelings, fears and memories, anguish and joy, and I find it in music.
All my life I'd woken up to tennis, tennis, tennis. Even if I don't go to practise, I'm thinking about it all day.
By far, the most disabling thing in my life is the physical environment. It dictates what I can and can't do every day.
I believe in living life the way that you want to live it every day, and if you do that, you don't really need to have New Year's resolutions.
Every day, I read about new ideas and research that could help someone I care about live a longer and healthier life.
I have obsessed about my weight in some sort of way all my life. I used to write in my journal what I weighed every day.
Husbands and wives, first be faithful to each other. Second, keep the romance going all of your life by courting each other every day.
One of the things I was taught in law school is that I'd never be able to think the same again - that being a lawyer is something that's part of who I am as an individual now.
If you spend five minutes with me or watch me try to balance my checkbook, you can only imagine the disaster I would make of anyone's legal issues.
We educated, privileged lawyers have a professional and moral duty to represent the underrepresented in our society, to ensure that justice exists for all, both legal and economic justice.
It is not unprofessional to give free legal advice, but advertising that the first visit will be free is a bit like a fox telling chickens he will not bite them until they cross the threshold of the hen house.
I say 'I love you' to my daughters every day.
I feel so thankful that I'm able to be a part of something that I love to wake up and run to work every day.
