I've continually reminded myself that I never want to change. I could be on the cover of a magazine today, but next week someone else is going to be on that cover.

If you've got a regular feed of winners, you control your mind to do it. It becomes a must. If you didn't have that regular flow of winning, whether you could get yourself to do that, I don't know.

Religious ideas about good and evil tend to focus on how to achieve well-being in the next life, and this makes them terrible guides to securing it in this one.

It seemed like the poem came back the next day: no letter, nothing.

I remember at The Quilted Giraffe, when I was when working there to try out for the sous-chef position.

I wanted to reveal how genetic code is translated into protein.

It was my dream to contribute something to humanity.

We penalize and suspend players for making contact with the head while checking, in an effort to reduce head injuries, yet we still allow fighting.
