I loved movies. They inspired me more than anything growing up and wanted to do for others what those movies have done for me. I do a lot of other creative stuff but am not very good at it.
I see man more as an instrument or an agent more than anything else.
When New Balance approached me about a collaboration, more than anything, I wanted to create something to inspire and empower young people coming up behind us – for boys and girls with creativity, passion and fearless determination to stay true to themselves.
More than anything, I’m an American kid, and my music reflects that more so than being an Asian-American. I think it’s important but also something that can detrimental to your career if celebrated too much.
What we need more than anything else is an informed populace. I believe people want to be informed.
I suppose for me as an artist it wasn’t always just about expressing my work; I really wanted, more than anything else, to contribute in some way to the culture that I was living in. It just seemed like a challenge to move it a little bit towards the way I thought it might be interesting to go.
The first time I was in the ring, I wasn’t good at it, and I honestly thought, ‘Maybe this isn’t for me.’ Then I went back the next day and the next day and the next day… because I loved it more than anything.
It’s always a little nerve-wracking to do a love scene, more than anything because it’s just awkward.
Television was restricted by my parents. They encouraged reading more than anything. It wasn’t done in a let’s-get-educated kind of way, it was: ‘This looks like it might be fun so let’s do it.’ There were a lot of castles, art galleries, museums and mountains to climb.
So it’s more the musician in me that makes me stretch out and try different things more than anything. But, like a lot of guitar players, I have one certain niche that’s my thing that I’m better at than the others.
My mother goes crazy over babies. Some people just do. They love ’em! I never have. Babies scare me more than anything. They’re tiny and fragile and impressionable – and someone else’s! As much as I hate borrowing stuff, that is how much I hate holding other people’s babies. It’s too much responsibility.
I love my boys more than anything on this earth.
I’m just interested in people on the edges. I feel an affinity for people who haven’t had the best breaks in society. I’m always on their side. I find them more human, maybe. What I want to do more than anything is acknowledge their existence.

And I want a gold medal more than anything. I just want a gold medal, so that’s been pushing me forward.

When I’m out there, it’s not even me who is doing the acting and the wrestling and the moving. It is something that I feel like I see channels more than anything else. So, for me, I tune into the right frequency. I get turned on and we’re ready for take off.
What I love more than anything in the entire world is making music. It’s what I studied in school.
People say I’m good at standup. I don’t even think I’m that great at standup. I just hit hard. I don’t think I’m super technical or anything like that. I got a couple knockouts. I think I just hit hard more than anything.
Agriculture changes the landscape more than anything else we do. It alters the composition of species. We don’t realize it when we sit down to eat, but that is our most profound engagement with the rest of nature.
The one thing I like about being a celebrity more than anything is being able to get into any restaurant I want.
I knew what my father, more than anything else, wanted me to do. Seventeen, vain, and spoiled by poems, I prepared to enter a remote West Point. I would succeed there, it was hoped, as he had.
What I miss today more than anything else – I don’t go to church as much anymore – but that old-time religion, that old singing, that old praying which I love so much. That is the great strength of my being, of my writing.
I’m not going to reduce the choices of Canadians at the ballot box by backroom deals or secret arrangements. I think that’s a cause for cynicism more than anything else.
My low-budget films, more than anything, taught me that you’ve got to create cool, likable characters and great stories because, if you don’t, it doesn’t matter how cool it might look – no one is going to care about it.
When I was a child, the thing I wanted more than anything was to grow up and live in one house. Since my dad was in the Navy, that wasn’t possible. Instead, I lived in a different home every couple of years.
Hand-eye coordination and reflexes is something I work on more than anything.
Chelsea were looking at me, and one day I would love to play in The Premiership – for the fans, not the money. They can be losing 4-0 and still be cheering. That, more than anything, would attract me to The Premiership.
Even ‘The Inevitability of Death’ is kind of a funny song more than anything. I mean, I thought it would be funny imagining radio deejays cueing it up and announcing it as people are driving off to work.
More than anything, Play Cloths has taken risks in regards to the pieces of clothing that we’re even creating. We started out as straight T-shirts. It was just T-shirts and a couple cool things. Now, it’s leisure pants, it’s all types of clothing. We’re evolving even with fashion trends on a super high level.
The compliment that I like more than anything is when my family tells me I’m the same Ryan. I never want to become a celeb who forgets about anybody or has a big head about himself.
My injuries are more due to attrition than accidents. I have a couple of herniated discs in my neck, and that more than anything else – I had a flare-up last December, and I had actually made the decision to retire before that, but that just cemented the choice. I was flat on my back.
Acting is a hard profession. More than anything, it takes fortitude.
More than anything else, I’d like to be an old man with a good face, like Hitchcock or Picasso.
I loved modeling. I absolutely loved it. I was so happy to get the cover of ‘Vogue’ – 23 times. I keep each copy. I made more money as a model than as an actress or as a filmmaker. In monetary terms, beauty pays more than anything.
I often feel that I have a split personality. I love more than anything to be in my study writing, but when it’s time to do a book tour, I love that extroverted part, too – talking to people, reading, traveling, going out into the world.
More than anything, I prided myself when it was all set and done; the faith the company had in me to have seven segments on a television show – you have to tune in to see what can happen next.
Kobe was my favorite player from just the way he went about competition. He was so skilled, but his mindset and his approach were really what I took away from him more than anything. How tactical, passionate and detailed he is about the game – he really loved the game.
From my perspective, the world’s shaped me more than anything else. It’s a feedback loop.
If there was one word on a motivation or world view, that one word would be ‘liberty.’ That’s what inspires me and motivates me more than anything – just the concept of freedom, liberty, what it means.
‘Terra Nova,’ more than anything I’ve ever done in my life, is for everybody.

I love my fans more than anything.
People, when they look at athletes, they tend to determine who they are based on 1., how they play, and 2. – more than anything – how much they make.
I think I got into travelling because it was so not in my blood, so against my tendency to just stay put because my dad just hated going on holidays, because, as I’ve said in many essays, the thing that he hated more than anything else in life was spending money. And as soon as you leave your home, you’re spending money.
You love your child, and you want to protect your child more than anything on this planet, and yet, by the time they’re 17, 18, they’re going to step into this world, and that world will not feel the same compunction, necessarily, toward your daughter.
I love my children more than anything in the world.
Scripture is the thing I like to share with people more than anything. My prayer reality is quite kooky. I have this very unique dialogue with the Lord. I utilize my own sort of street vocabulary – nothing slang that would be unacceptable.
I wanted to be known as a better musician more than anything.
At the end of the day, New Yorkers need a mayor who understands the problems they face, brings a smart plan and good people to the table, and, more than anything, has the independence, courage and conviction to do the right thing.
I just can’t stomach playing poorly. More than anything, I hate not getting the most out of my game.

What I wanted more than anything was a long career.
I love my son more than anything. I will do whatever it takes to make sure he is raised the right way.
