I've been criticised for pretty, smiley photographs, but at least someone is happy! In my mind, I am always giving the image to the sitter.
I've always been a bit of a space geek. I wrote an article years ago about the neutral buoyancy tank, which is this biblically sized pool where they train astronauts. And it was just the coolest thing.
There's a lot of emotions that always come out after a skate of a lifetime. I always start crying because there is so much buildup to that competition.
People would ask me why I was doing what I was doing - but I always told them that I just loved to skate. There was no other explanation.
Actually, I've always wanted to be a professional skateboarder ever since I was about six.
I skated and rode bikes on ramps, and my mom was always super supportive. She was one of the only divorced moms in the neighborhood, so all the other parents looked down upon her for letting her kids do that kind of thing.
Watching previous figure skaters, I always wondered why they cried after their performance.
When it comes down to competition, it's not always about the best skater, it's about who skates the best in that competition.
The world dies over and over again, but the skeleton always gets up and walks.
I've always found the script to be more of a skeleton, the template.
I would say that Barack Obama has always been a real optimist about what can be accomplished. He believes that government can be used to create systemic, long-term, real change. And the first lady is more of a skeptic.
I always carry a sketchbook around with me, and I sketch whenever I can... I might be in a financial review and be sketching because I find that I actually listen better when I sketch. Truth be told, there are probably more sketches in my books than there are written notes.
I'll always have acting. But then if I had to choose something else it'd probably be singing or dancing - if I had to. Or maybe, like, designer, like sketching designs.
I always felt like I had something to prove, like I had to work twice as hard to make sure I got it. I knew I didn't want to be a good skier. I wanted to be the best.
My own ambition in the ring had always been skillful boxing, speed and defense - on the order of Mike Gibbons.
It's always hard to watch bad actors improv on your skit.
We Skype all the time - me and my brothers, and especially me and Dani. Anytime we're apart from the person we're with, we're always trying to be in touch and call.
Most of the soap operas always use the Christmas special to kill huge quantities of their characters. So they have trams coming off their rails, or cars slamming into each other or burning buildings. It's a general clean-out.
I would always talk with my friends in English and Spanglish, but it was more like slang. It was more like, 'Yo, what's up, dog?' But in Spanish, I know what's proper, and what's ghetto. I know the difference.
Other dances are like languages, like French or Spanish, but my steps are slang, and slang is always changing.
