A lot of stuff I wear I’ve had since high school.

I was in tears because it hurt so bad!

As Canadians who proudly demand the equal treatment of minorities, religious freedom, gender equality and basic human rights for its citizens – allowing our political leaders to shamefully ignore these values in the name of business abroad, falls short of the high standard we rightfully set for ourselves.
I started in junior high doing the splits and flips and that kind of stuff. It was kind of the acceptable thing to do. But I had two older brothers, so I was a tomboy. I was the cute tomboy who could put on the skirt but then go tackle you or something. I was a little rough around the edges for a pretty woman!
I’ve written songs sober and I’ve written songs high.
My fastest time in high school was a 4:29 mile. I think cross-country has something to do with my longevity in my business. When you’re in an eight-mile race, you never give up.

Our bombs are smarter than the average high school student. At least they can find Kuwait.

I sort of set myself really high standards which is good and bad. If I know that I’ve done all I can to prepare, that’s when I race the best and in ’09 I was going through a lot of emotional ups and downs and I was never as fit as I would have liked to have been. So I never felt comfortable.
People usually start off on a high note in their careers and then wane off and then restart with a comeback.
The only time I had what you would call life-threatening fear was when I was on the Moon.

I played American Legion ball starting when I was 14. But I didn’t catch until I was 17. I was 75-3 as a high school pitcher, but it was like everybody knew that I was supposed to be a catcher. When the scouts would come around, and I was pitching, they’d make me take infield practice so the scouts could watch me throw.
Every morning, I have high expectations, and then I confront the reality of what happens at 4 o’clock.

I think, as most of us do, I put such high expectations on myself that this spills over onto other people. And not everyone is wired this way.
