It got to be so easy that I was actually disappointed.

I felt that there were so many people doing it that I would just be like one of the others.

I look at that person and I'm like, That's not Kelli White. That's not who I am, who I started out to be.

I'm not sure exactly what Victor told Dr. Goldman, but I don't think he fully knew what was going on... I think he was really oblivious. I don't think he knew.

It got to be so easy that I was actually disappointed.

I felt that to do this drug, I had to become someone totally different than I was. I had to compromise my integrity, my value system. I knew it was so wrong.

The acne thing was bad. The shoulders, the face, my voice changed. I had a period every other week.

I have never taken any substance to enhance my performance.

I felt betrayed by him, extremely betrayed. He made me believe that if I followed a certain protocol of supplements and different drugs that I could become number 1 in the world.

You could run harder, longer. If the workout was four 200s really, really fast, they wouldn't seem as hard as before. You could cut the rest down from five minutes to three. That's a big difference.

It sounded good. It was a story that Victor Conte told me to use. I was contacted by Dr. Goldman, and that's how the story came about. And that was my first time ever meeting, or speaking, to Dr. Goldman.

Interestingly, simple and ordinary experiences often provide the most important learning opportunities we ever have.

I'm from Brooklyn. I grew up very poor- seven people, four rooms. My dad had no education.

What if the worst thing that happened to you turns out to be the best thing that has ever happened to you?

Life has been kind to me. I am happy with the love and appreciation that I have been getting throughout my career. I feel blessed.

I'm a huge fan of San Francisco. And I was out here for a couple years in the mid-'90s when I was a Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford.

Futurists get to a certain age and, as one does, they suddenly recognize their own mortality.

It's always special when you're young and you have a vision for something you want to do, and somebody takes a moment to connect with you. Now if there are kids on the set I try to talk to them for a bit.

What happens also is that a lot of those people and reporters who vote for Hall of Famers, some of the people who were around when Ray Guy was around, are deceased. And some of the reporters don't remember Ray Guy. He should have been in the Hall of Fame 15 years ago.

Our colleges ought to have lit up in us a lasting relish for he better kind of man a loss of appetite for mediocrities.

Infinites, when considered absolutely without any restriction or limitation, are neither equal nor unequal, nor have any certain proportion one to another, and therefore, the principle that all infinites are equal is a precarious one.

Meat-fetishiser that I was, I used to find willed vegetarianism inexplicable. It was one thing to be a vegetarian because of religious and caste reasons - something I was familiar with because of my Indian upbringing - but to choose to be a vegetarian when you could eat meat for every meal every day? That seemed madness to me.

Every actor you work with has a different method, same with the director. You have to figure out what your shared language is and how to best support each other, and also take care of yourself.

Great French design is often about unexpected touches.

I'm always really comfortable writing strong, smart ladies. That's kind of my bailiwick.

Cambridge was the place for someone from the Colonies or the Dominions to go on to, and it was to the Cavendish Laboratory that one went to do physics.

It costs about $27 million to win a seat in the United States Senate, so when you win one, you like to sit down.

It was hysterical going to work. I would just walk in and think, 'What in hell? Am I here? What's going on? I'm going to wake up in a minute. I'm in a dream.'

Why are we building golf courses? Because we enjoy being outside, bringing man and nature together.

The first step to take to wake up earlier is to have a nighttime routine that not only encourages you to fall asleep but also guarantees you'll sleep soundly each and every night.

You don't take insults. You leave them with the insulter.

Cruel persecutions and intolerance are not accidents, but grow out of the very essence of religion, namely, its absolute claims.

A great relationship doesnt happen because of the love you had in the beginning but how well you continue building love until the end.

I would say my greatest achievement in life right now - my greatest achievement period is - and I'm still trying to achieve it - is to be a wonderful father to my kids.
