I love modeling because I get to see everything that inspires me. Then I go home and sketch.

When I was 13, I was saying that I wanted to be signed to a label. I was begging my dad to get me signed with somebody.

I want to be a dad, first and foremost. I want to be a good father. I've spent so much of my life on the move and travelling around the world that just to set up a home for my family and be a good dad is something that motivates me.

For cool things to happen, you have to get out of your comfort zone.

We want the digital world to bend to your physical life, your real emotional life as a person, and we don't want you to bend to computers.

Playing games is the dessert. Our real market is people doing everyday things. Rather than pulling your mobile phone in and out of your pocket, we want to create an all-day flow; whether you're going to the doctor or a meeting or hanging out, you will all of a sudden be amplified by the collective knowledge that is on the web.

My dad and my mom convinced me to go into biomedical engineering because they said astronauts going to Mars will need life support systems.

My dad introduced me to baseball. Then one of my friends asked if I could play on a team; my dad said I could, and I just fell in love with the game.

My interactions with my family members are all one-to-one. We don't all get together for Thanksgiving dinner. But I can sit and tell any one of them about a conversation that I just had with the other one, and they're all curious and interested and respectful.

My diet is always terrible, unfortunately. I don't know moderation.

I told another ESPN friend here, I love all sports. I can't think of any I don't love. I've even come to appreciate cricket. Maybe I could play a sportswriter. I don't know. Anything in the sports realm is appealing.

My dad was a Buddhist when I was young, so when I was begging to become a Catholic, he was saying no and imparting Buddhist precepts.

My background was in graphic design, but when I was doing it, it was all hand-drawn stuff, not computers.

A family going through a divorce, a child under attack by a demon, all these things I could relate to.

Some nights, a romantic dinner can be killed by having to do dishes afterward, so it probably suits you better to go out for dinner. But I love cooking and always have.

I'm learning a lot how to be good at what I do and also how lucky I am and take it all in and be grateful for all this late in life success I've been having and it's good to have people that have been around and successful for awhile and work with them and see how they behave and it's why they are who they are and why they're still successful.

I've got a love affair with Harley-Davidson. One of my earliest photos with my dad is of him holding me as a baby on his bike.

I feel very warm towards Mum and Dad for giving us the independence they did. My childhood, and the fact we didn't have a TV, gave me a boundless imagination.

I really enjoy being single again. I spent a lot of time in a relationship and the nearer we came to the end, the more difficult it got. You don't see things clearly as long as you're still involved.

When I was 13, my mom checked me into a modeling agency. Then, out of nowhere, they asked me to audition for a TV show, which I did, and I got going from there.

I have a massive Samoan family. And the Samoan culture has always played a massive part of my life. I've got hundreds of family on my dad's side that live in Samoa and in New Zealand. I've just been surrounded by the culture ever since I was a kid.

God put us here to prepare this place for the next generation. That's our job. Raising children and helping the community, that's preparing for the next generation.

My heroes always are mostly my parents - my father especially, and my mom, who's passed on already. My dad is a very strong man, and by him being educated, and a principal and school superintendent over 37 years, he plays such a big role in my life.

I've always felt obligated to help those less fortunate than me. It's an obligation that anyone who has a chance to be in the NBA should feel and act upon.

I'm just a guy who wears TOMS. It's the sad truth.

I love all my fam. I have quite possibly the best dad, mom, and sister in the world.

I think all of us could play the teacher because we all grew up with teachers. It's just kind of this peeking-over-the-shoulder presence that we've all grown up knowing.

I didn't really make up my mind to be an actor until I did 'The Hitcher' with Rutger Hauer. I was about 17 or 18 when I did that, by which point I'd probably done a dozen or more movies or TV things, but 'The Hitcher' was the experience that made me want to study and commit and learn how to do this for my life.

I wasn't one of those kids who was chasing the dream and wanted to get to Hollywood because one day I was gonna get my chance and be a big star. I never felt like that.

My dad's a very shrewd, clever guy.

I remember my manager telling me, 'Be myself, be humble, keep rooted, keep God first'. Those words were very helpful.

My dad is a minister, and my mum is a worker with the less fortunate and the disabled. They're Nigerian natives. Their first language is Yoruba, and their second language is English.

My dad's a Pentecostal minister, meaning that he's full of charisma. If he's telling a story about Noah's ark, you best know each tiger is going to be having their own little conversation and narrative.

Words empty as the wind are best left unsaid.

In youth and beauty, wisdom is but rare!

To have a great man for an intimate friend seems pleasant to those who have never tried it; those who have, fear it.

The difficulty is not so great to die for a friend, as to find a friend worth dying for.

And what he greatly thought, he nobly dared.

It is not good to have a rule of many.

There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.

Yet, taught by time, my heart has learned to glow for other's good, and melt at other's woe.

A sympathetic friend can be quite as dear as a brother.

Communication will bring understanding and understanding will cause harmonious mutual relationships which can establish peace and stability.

A compassionate mind is very difficult to cultivate because compassion demands a sense of equality between all living beings.

If you are able to see the interrelatedness of mind and body, sensitivity towards your body becomes much sharper. Therefore, maintaining of good health also becomes easier.

Training and education is one and the same: that is, to train the mind through a discipline in order to awake the inner intelligence of the individuals.

In the Buddhist learning process, we say three stages. The first is hearing, the second is contemplation, and the third is meditation.

Bodily discomfort and emotional fear and attachment make the dying uncomfortable and fearful. So, to help those dying people, I think modern medical science has a lot of facilities to reduce pain, or perhaps not to reduce pain, but not to experience pain.

Dying peacefully means to avoid any immediate cause for anger, fear, or strong desire.

Communication and communication strategy is not just part of the game - it is the game.
