Jane Austen

I tell you, it was kind of two-fold. I fortunately had a lot of support. My coach was amazing - he told me to focus on being prepared and that is what I did. Every athlete is nervous - any athlete who tells you they're not nervous isn't telling you the truth. I was as prepared as I could be.

Carl Lewis

They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird.

George Orwell

I'm vegan on home base, but when I travel to other countries, I throw it all into the garbage.

Lake Bell

Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit.
