When the ball dropped in 1999, I was holding dough and champagne in my hands and holding my kids.

I am the world’s most appalling martial artist. I am so bad. I’ve studied jujitsu, kickboxing, t’ai chi. Once, I was sparring with someone, made a mistake, and managed to knock them down.

The best meal I’ve had was in Tavarua, an island in Fiji. It was just before sunset.

It’s not like I was just dropped onto a snowboard and I was able to go 15 feet into the air. There was a lot of hard work that came with it. That’s something that people don’t really notice sometimes and the amount of sacrifice my family made.

Kids just don’t read any more. They spend much more time with video games. It’s just hard to get kids to read anything. Book sales have dropped dramatically, too. I think 90% of the books are bought only by 5% of the US population.

Great loves, to the last, have pulses red; All great loves that have ever died dropped dead.
