At nine years old, I was presented an opportunity to move to Toronto to train for pairs dancing. As soon as I heard that that's what it entailed, I was out of there. It's like a past life. I hung up my skates and never looked back.
I think I was probably a cowboy in a past life.
I think maybe I was a shepherdess in a past life.
Regarding lack of vision or disabilities of the organ of sight, it has long been known among researchers that it is the effect of extreme cruelty in a past life.
I realize I've had this spirit-animal relationship with sweatpants. In a past life, I probably was a pair of sweatpants. There's something beautifully simple but highly underestimated about them.
Architecture is exposed to life. If its body is sensitive enough, it can assume a quality that bears witness to past life.
I love food. I'm a huge food addict. I think in my past life I was a pig or something like that, but I love eating; I never stop eating.
Because I have experienced a prosperous, healthy and happy existence, I must have been a decent person in a past life.
I have no doubt I was someone very interesting in a past life.
I love to sing. Seriously, in my past life I was Miley Cyrus or something. I swear I'm a singer, but I know I'm not. If I could sing, I would be the happiest person on Earth.
Worrying about the past or the future isn't productive. When you start chastising yourself for past mistakes, or seeing disaster around every corner, stop and take a breath and ask yourself what you can do right now to succeed.
I firmly believe that you live and learn, and if you don't learn from past mistakes, then you need to be drug out and shot.
I can't dwell on past mistakes.
I don't look into negative things. Go past mistakes and look forward.
I don't believe in regrets. There are a few things I'd do differently, but I can't go back in time and redo them, however much I might wish to. All I can do is learn from past mistakes and move forward.
Fifty years ago, historians advised politicians and policy-makers. They helped chart the future of nations by helping leaders learn from past mistakes in history. But then something changed, and we began making decisions based on economic principles rather than historical ones. The results were catastrophic.
When I look back at my past mistakes, I realise that there were times when I wasn't myself, and that's why certain styles did not work well for me.
There is always tension between the possibilities we aspire to and our wounded memories and past mistakes.
We have a hope of succeeding if we learn from our past mistakes and pull together to make the hard choices.
I like historical pieces. History was my favorite subject in school, it was the only subject I excelled in. I love the idea of history and the idea that we may have the opportunity to learn from our past mistakes.
