With the success of the last three or so years, when a lot of people start treating you differently, there’s a danger that you may start to think of yourself differently. You rely on your friends to say, ‘Hey, wake up!’

I’m a huge believer in you don’t really need anybody to make you feel validated or make you feel secure. When you go to sleep at night, you’re with yourself, and when you wake up, you’re with yourself. Be happy, just alone, regardless if you’re with somebody or not.
Hitchhiking was such a pure form of existence. You’d wake up in the morning, and you’d have no idea what your day was going to be. And that’s something I’ve never been able to shake. I loved that.

My eighth-grade year, I was home-schooled. I’d basically wake up, go to the gym in the morning, do a little bit of school, go to practice, do a little more school, then go back to practice. My mom had a crockpot and a mini traveling oven, so we’d be cooking and eating dinners at the gym.
I wake up at 6 A.M. and start with yoga. I’m by no means a morning person, but I’ve trained myself to become one. My husband wakes up at 4:30 A.M., so he makes me feel like a loser. When you wake up and no one is in the bed, it kind of gets you up.
I’m not very happy. I’m frustrated with human beings. I’m the guy who just wants to smack people in the face and say, ‘Wake up!’

Every night of our lives, we dream, and our brain concocts visions which are, at least until we wake up, highly convincing. Most of us have had experiences which are verging on hallucination. It shows the power of the brain to knock up illusions.
I have a recurring nightmare that I wake up in a gutter with nothing. I’ve had it all my life. That’s why I work, I think.

I wake up every morning in a cold sweat, regardless of how well things went the day before. And put that I said that in a somewhat but not completely tongue-in-cheek way.
I travel often, which can make maintaining a workout schedule a little difficult, but I try to make time for it whenever I can. Sometimes I wake up extra early so I can fit in a run or a bike ride, and other days I’ll just blast music and jump around or watch a 30-minute exercise video.
The great thing about ‘Pretty Little Liars’ is it shoots in Los Angeles where my home is, so I got to live at home and wake up in my own bed.

Anybody is able to doubt me. I say, ‘Come with your criticism to polish the diamond of the truth.’ People need to wake up to their own power. Everybody has this nature.

You know how someone – something – surprises you. You wake up a little bit. That’s done through Chinese cuisine – for example, through dishes of artifice. That’s a whole sub-tradition in Chinese cuisine. To create a dish that comes to the table looking like one thing but actually is something else.
The one thing about my life that’s different from others is that I wake up for no one, and for some reason, that’s just good for your creativity.
I never want to make a film. I don’t wake up in the morning going, ‘Ooh, I’d really love to be on set making a film today’. I’m aware that other contemporary film directors perceive film-making as what they do, as what they have to do. But I would hope that I am more catholic in my tastes.

The first thing I do every day when I wake up is thank God for letting me make it through the night and giving me another day of life – just because sometimes I wake up, and I cannot believe I’m doing what I’m doing.

Some people have blithely dismissed growth in markets like China and India, saying Silicon Valley will always be the hub for tech: that everyone will come to us. Wake up: Because the numbers are showing money and talent is increasingly going elsewhere.
When I’m doing a book tour in the States, I’ll wake up in the room sometimes in an anonymous chain hotel, and I don’t know where I am right away. I’ll go to the window, and it doesn’t help there either, especially if you’re in an anonymous strip and it’s the usual Victoria’s Secret, Gap, Chili’s, Applebee’s.
