Compost makes houseplants very happy.

I find myself dreaming of doing normal things - like staying home and washing dishes.

You don't learn style from watching people on a runway. Fashion happens every morning when you wake up.

Nobody responds to being made to feel judged.

My parents wished peace upon their firstborn child.

It's become more and more of a priority for me to tread as lightly as possible in the world.

You don't have to live in the country and grow your own food to be green.

I've recently started composting in my apartment, which is quite an adventure.

I feel more comfortable with my clothes off than on!

Clothes should just be like a beautiful setting for a jewel: They should offset you.

I love the percussion. It's a right brain, left brain thing. There are different beats, but cooperating together. It's your whole body doing it, you're doing the snare drum and the high top with your hands and the bass drum with your foot. You're this whole motion machine.

I think there's a lot projected on beautiful women, period. At least, maybe this is just my fear, but I do sometimes feel dismissed before I've even been allowed to participate. I have moments of feeling really wounded. But I am pretty optimistic, and I do enjoy a lot of my life.

I was scouted at a Cure concert. A model scout approached me there and asked me if I modeled, and I thought that was ludicrous.

I was too thin. I was working all the time, not eating at home. Spaghetti bolognese on planes. Ugh. Now most of my meals I cook for myself with organic ingredients.

In the beginning, New York and I had kind of a love-hate relationship. It seemed so abrasive compared to Europe. But the transformation here in recent years is really something. I don't think I would have seen as much change if I'd lived in any other city in the world.

My favorite New York memory is that blizzard in '96. I get chills thinking about it. It's my favorite time here - call me crazy. I'm from Canada, and it's very cold up there.

People think if you're a model then you must take yourself way too seriously.

When I first saw tap dancing, I immediately got it: the righteousness of being able to make so much noise with your feet!

When I started coming to do shows in New York, New York had a pretty electric energy then. It was the early-nineties, and there was a lot of really fun theatrical types that were designing, and so the runway kind of became this stage for all of these mega model personalities to flaunt their stuff.

I couldn't see a future of doing anything other than performing. I didn't like school if I'm being honest. I would have settled for performing in any capacity.

My favorite part was when my grandfather and I would make a special trip to Firpo's Bakery for red and green Christmas cookies and fruitcake studded with the sweetest cherries I've ever tasted. Usually Firpo's was too expensive for our slim budget, but Christmas mornings they gave a discount to any children who came in.

The role that I play as a lone striker, I enjoy it and particularly playing with great players.

On the East Coast, people try to make life interesting. On the West Coast, they try to make it comfortable. The emphasis here is on fancy cars, how one looks, less on the mind per se.

I find many drawbacks of myself. But, each time when I visit Lourdes, I receive a lesson of reconciliation. When you see ill people or invalids around, you realize that it is a sin to complain!

It is our own thoughts that hold the key to miraculous transformation.

I treat my life as though I am on a tightrope.

I've always listened to and loved country music ever since I was a kid.

I've been shooting the ball and running a little bit. It's just going out here now and forgetting that I've been out and try to get back in and make sure I know what's going on out there on the floor and that we're just not lost as a team.

I never made up any investor. I never made up Paul Abrams.

I'm sort of killing two birds with one stone here, getting to write for 'True Blood' and being able to put myself in a comic at the same time.

My healthiest habit is eating a healthy breakfast every morning. I never miss breakfast. As a busy mom, there will be days when I'm cruisin' along and I'll look at the clock and I haven't eaten lunch. And I'll run downstairs, and I'll start shovelin' stuff down the pie hole, and I'll think, 'That was no lunch at all.'

Ever wonder why billionaires always need more and more money Its a power trip.

My goal isn't to make money, it's to try and survive and make a point.

Greece is not an easy country to do business in.

Metaphor is the energy charge that leaps between images, revealing their connections.

I have a really strong opponent in Randy Orton. A former multi-time world champion. He's held just about every title under the sun. And he's done it all in a major way. He's basically wreaked havoc and ran roughshod over the WWE for quite some time. Some people might forget that.

So it's mainly a question of helping the Third World overcome the effects of global warming.

The most unpardonable sin in society is independence of thought.

I see myself as a flashlight in the dark. Im not trying to be overlooked anymore.

Robert M. Morgenthau, the Manhattan district attorney, has seen a few financial schemes in his time. As the lead local prosecutor in the world's financial capital, he has battled frauds like the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, which stole billions of dollars from investors worldwide.

You have to push through every difficulty to achieve the goal.

Fast offerings are used for one purpose only: to bless the lives of those in need.

Namely, we have no right to believe a thing true because everybody says so unless there are good grounds for believing that some one person at least has the means of knowing what is true, and is speaking the truth so far as he knows it.
