You know what I always dreamed of? That with the greenhouse effect, one day Estonia can be what L.A. is right now. I always thought when the end of the world comes, I want to be in Estonia. I think then I'd survive.
I do like classical music, and soft rock, and jazz, which I never listened to when I was 15. Now I like it. The older you get, the more tolerant you get, right?
There are certain tuxes you can get away with a black tie, but with others, you'd be dishonoring the workmanship if you didn't wear a full bow tie.
Every day, you learn something. That's the same as assistant coach and the same as a head coach. You should continue to learn. You watch so much basketball, you should see something somewhere from somebody different all the time.
You're never as good as everyone tells you when you win, and you're never as bad as they say when you lose.
Diplomacy in a sense is the opposite of writing. You have to disperse yourself so much: the lady who comes in crying because she's had a fight with the secretary; exports and imports; students in trouble; thumbtacks for the embassy.
It's hard to win when you always lose.
The worst moment in my life was when I was seven years old and I discovered that there was a thing such as racism. You don't know you're different until someone lets you know.
What I can tell you is that for Puerto Rico being such a small island, it has culturally impacted the entire world.
If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost.
If you're not careful, the Internet will gobble up your entire life.
You always admire what you really don't understand.
The yoke you wear determines the burden you bear.
I already have it, but a good keyboard is invaluable when you spend a lot of time typing. My favorite one is the ancient IBM Model M I have at home.
You look out there and there's people that, their day is changed because of your contribution to it.
If you would be known, and not know, vegetate in a village; if you would know, and not be known, live in a city.
Everybody has fallen down or been disappointed in love. Where you truly shine is when you get back up. Use it as a learning experience and believe in all of the possibilities.
I decided that we should have a flag, that a flag fit us as a symbol, that we are a people, a tribe if you will. And flags are about proclaiming power, so it's very appropriate.
I'd rather tell you how I really feel.
I love doing TV. It's such a breakneck pace, you know. It's kiss and go with your leading man. You meet them in the morning and go right into a clinch. The filming is over before you know their last names.
As hard as it is, owning who you are and knowing what you want is the only sure path to affirmation... I want women to know they can get out of any situation if they return to their core source of strength: themselves.
I think my motto is to always remain focused on what it is that you're trying to accomplish.
You can't sit here and try to predict what kind of character I'm going to be drawn to next. At the time when I read 'The Girl on the Train,' it wasn't like I was, 'Ooh, I want to play a hot mess next.'

The great thing about running is that you can get away to your own thoughts and get in a little bubble.
Give me some scratching, diving, hungry ballplayers who come to kill you.
Have you ever noticed the fact that once you begin to think about something, you see it everywhere? Anyone who has ever begun the search for a new automobile can attest, from the moment you Google it, you begin to pass that model in traffic everywhere. Of course, they were there the whole time; we simply didn't have them at top of mind.
Do what you're told, and everything will be all right.
When you do a comedy, the goals are much clearer to me.
I don't care what sport you're talking about. What you see with great franchises is structure - a structure that doesn't just take you from year to year, but day to day.
You have to love what you do, and you have to need it like you need air. And there's nothing else that would give me the same degree of satisfaction as acting, which is why I can't walk away from it.
I beg you to look at the promising boys and beautiful girls in your homes and in your communities, and then you will not put these temptations in their way.
I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you.
If you read quickly to get through a poem to what it means, you have missed the body of the poem.
You reach out your hand, but you're all alone, in those time passages.
Your connections to all the things around you literally define who you are.
