It's very important to take care of yourself. Everyone's lives are so busy. Take at least an hour a day to recharge and do whatever makes you better. For grown-ups, whether it's a spa, sitting in a park with a book, or coffee, take time for yourself.

I do miss competition, but I get to travel a little bit on my own terms, which is a little bit different. And I get the chance to walk around, explore, and not have to save my energy for the match days.

When I was starting out, it was almost impossible for me to get visas to travel to tournaments.

I was watching tennis on TV, and between games, they were showing a commercial for a tennis school. I wrote down the number, gave it to my mom, and said, 'This is what I want to do.' She thought it was a joke, but I was very stubborn, and I kept bringing it up.

I like men who have goals, something that they are passionate about and work hard to achieve. A good sense of humor is important too. And I like tall guys!

At the beginning of the new century, it is the common aspiration of the peoples of the two countries to deepen mutual understanding, enhance trust, develop friendship and strengthen cooperation.

We support every effort to combat international terrorism through the formulation of international conventions and hope that the international community will take further steps to improve the anti-terrorism international legal framework.

I'm really in no danger of being perceived as a famous movie actor!

Dad often told me, 'My job is to help my boss do his job and make him look good.' That was my dad's objective. Everything about the way he conducted himself was to communicate support for his superiors and respect for his coworkers. The way he dressed was his starting point in that communication.

You don't have to have anything in common with people you've known since you were five. With old friends, you've got your whole life in common.

When I write, it's to heal. It's my own self-therapy so that I don't actually feel sad all of the time.

I'm not the sad sack that people might think I am. But I think that if I didn't write and perform, I probably would be.

My mom is a history teacher, so we'd go on all these historic trips as kids around Halloween, because it was kind of creepy.

I don't want to bury anything in poetry.

In some ways, being on the road is like summer camp. There's a camaraderie, but I'm also learning how to be more of a leader.

In 2015, I told my band that I was taking a break so I could focus on my home life, go back to school, and try to remember what it was like to feel like a human being again.

I don't think I'll ever feel perfectly balanced, but I feel like I'm figuring it out, and I'm surrounded by really wonderful people that want to see me succeed and be happy. Life is wild.

Friendship is a pretty full-time occupation if you really are friendly with somebody. You can't have too many friends because then you're just not really friends.

Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.

I believe more in the scissors than I do in the pencil.

Love, having no geography, knows no boundaries.

Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs in one go.

To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the inner music that words make.

Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.

Love is a chain of love as nature is a chain of life.

Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.

The power of community to create health is far greater than any physician, clinic or hospital.

The best advice is to avoid foods with health claims on the label, or better yet avoid foods with labels in the first place.

Seems you can't outsmart Mother Nature.

We need a grassroots movement and government policies and programs to change the food landscape and the built environment to give our children a chance to have happy, healthy successful lives.

Lifestyle change and changes in diet work faster, better and more cheaply than any medication and are as effective or more effective than gastric bypass without any side effects or long-term complications.

Calories from protein affect your brain, your appetite control center, so you are more satiated and satisfied.

The very fact that we are having a national conversation about what we should eat, that we are struggling with the question about what the best diet is, is symptomatic of how far we have strayed from the natural conditions that gave rise to our species, from the simple act of eating real, whole, fresh food.

While pimples are not as simple as too much milk or sugar in your diet, both have a significant impact. Nutritional deficiencies as well as excesses can worsen acne.

Our typical Western diet is full of inflammatory fats - saturated fats, trans fats, too many omega-6, inflammatory, processed vegetable oils like soy and corn oils. These increase IGF-1 and stimulate pimple follicles.

You can't exercise your way out of a bad diet.

Don't get me wrong, I admire elegance and have an appreciation of the finer things in life. But to me, beauty lies in simplicity.

I have experienced some amazing food! Yet when I think about the most luxurious and exquisite meals I have had, visions of simple food made from a few natural ingredients are what most excite me.

The food industry profits from providing poor quality foods with poor nutritional value that people eat a lot of.

In the 21st century our tastes buds, our brain chemistry, our biochemistry, our hormones and our kitchens have been hijacked by the food industry.

While weight loss is important, what's more important is the quality of food you put in your body - food is information that quickly changes your metabolism and genes.

It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.

In a gentle way, you can shake the world.

When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.

I did once seriously think of embracing the Christian faith. The gentle figure of Christ, so full of forgiveness that he taught his followers not to retaliate when abused or struck, but to turn the other cheek - I thought it was a beautiful example of the perfect man.

Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err.

Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?

Violent means will give violent freedom. That would be a menace to the world and to India herself.

I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers.

Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment.
