A lot of people think it’s better to go into berserker mode, but it’s not actually. I’m a pretty exciting fighter without going into berserker mode.
If I’m working in the city, then as soon as I’m home, I try to lock in on my son for a few hours. Every day. I see how important it is that he’s starting to come into my world now. It’s just an effort to give him that male mode of being.
When you are performing at the top level you don’t get many chances to go back to basics as you are in elite performance mode. It’s hard to break your technique or action down when it always needs to be at a match intensity.
Everyone seems to be in a kind of accelerated time mode that is beyond their own control.

Money, while clearly helpful in solving myriad problems, can often conceal a business’s real flaws. It can also risk rigidifying a company’s business model at the very moment it should be in ‘customer discovery’ mode or iterating around market opportunities.
When you hear Beast Mode, you automatically go to my size, but I always say the strongest thing I own is not my chest, my legs, not my arms. It’s my mind. It’s that mindset that says: Look, you’re not always going to succeed but don’t take it as a loss, take it as a lesson. That’s the mindset of Beast Mode.

I’ve read plenty of J.G. Ballard, but I’m not really a Ballardian. I’ve met Ballardians, and I know when I can’t compete. I like Ballard in his relatively unchallenging apocalyptic mode: ‘Vermilion Sands,’ ‘The Drowned World,’ ‘The Burning World,’ ‘The Crystal World.’

I believe the best mode of aiding convicts is so to apportion their tasks in prison as to give to the industrious the opportunity of earning a sum for themselves by ‘over-work.’ A man usually values that most for which he has labored; he uses that most frugally which he has toiled hour by hour and day by day to acquire.
I would do musicals in high school where there was dancing, and I would sing my verse, and then they would choreograph it so when I would take an eight-count to back up to the back of the stage while the other dancers covered me up because my body was totally… I was always in newborn-deer mode.

It’s funny – before, I would say I’m not sure I can change a diaper in my life and now it’s, ‘I got this, I’m a mom, I got this, I know what to do.’ It’s weird, you just get into this protective mode.
I’m playing a powerhouse singer who is big competition, but she’s also really down to earth and sweet. But the whole sweet thing goes away when she’s in competition mode. I love the show, so I’m very excited to be a part of it. I’m going to kill it on ‘Glee!’
