There is a lot of folklore about equestrian statues, especially the ones with riders on them. There is said to be a code in the number and placement of the horse's hooves: If one of the horse's hooves is in the air, the rider was wounded in battle; two legs in the air means that the rider was killed in battle; three legs in the air indicates that the rider got lost on the way to the battle; and four legs in the air means that the sculptor was very, very clever. Five legs in the air means that there's probably at least one other horse standing behind the horse you're looking at; and the rider lying on the ground with his horse lying on top of him with all four legs in the air means that the rider was either a very incompetent horseman or owned a very bad-tempered horse.

When you're young you have no worries, no drama, only your imagination. It's the best!

I didn't do improv in college, I never performed, I didn't do theater either. I was in student government, I was a history major.

I think academics are infuriating. For every expert on Shakespeare there is another one to cancel his theory out. It drives you up the wall. I think the greatest form of finding out the truth is through fantasy.

The old fun thing is when somebody typed up the first chapter of War and Peace. And then made a precis of the rest of it and sent it out and only one publisher recognized it.

To remember friendship is to recall those conversations that it seemed a sin to break off

Life is like an ice-cream cone, you have to lick it one day at a time.

For the past few years, I was the more visible Asian performer, and I think it gave young girls a kind of role model showing it's possible to actually reach success doing movies.

Maybe the best programmers aren't those who spectacularly solve crazy problems, but those who don't create them, which is much more silent.

This arena is a special place. Everybody loves it. To be able to stand behind the bench and be a part of a great tournament for the '96 Elite is fun. The kids, having a chance to play in the building where the Penguins play, it's a special feeling for them.

Mario Lemieux

Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.

Mahatma Gandhi

In the works of man, everything is as poor as its author; vision is confined, means are limited, scope is restricted, movements are labored, and results are humdrum.

Joseph De Maistre

I count religion but a childish toy, and hold there is no sin but ignorance.
