Even if I have already peaked, I have to believe I can improve. I wake up every morning, and go to practice, with the illusion that I’m going to get better that day.
For me, being part of the WTA tour is a privilege. Every day I wake up, it’s a privilege to be able to go outside and do what I love. It’s a privilege to be able to make my own hours, even though they’re long, but I make them.
From morning when I wake up until I go to sleep, I am working. I go to bed and I want to switch off, but the brain doesn’t switch off.

Well, let me tell you, any conservative that’s unhappy with George Bush warms my heart, in any way that they can wake up and smell the coffee would be really great.

I didn’t wake up and decide to become an activist. But you couldn’t help notice the inequities, the injustices. It was all around you.
Songwriting is hard – it’s so easy to fall into the same traps. It’s not like I wake up and songs flow out of me.
What I am very, very moved and struck by is that so many people in the world are often living a life that they hadn’t planned for themselves. And they wake up one day and say, ‘Hang on. Who am I? Is this really me? Is this what I really wanted?’ And also, ‘Can I change it? Have I got the courage to change it?’
I have 250 contacts, employees, and investors who, anytime they come across something relevant, will share it with me. I wake up to 10-15 links that people have explicitly recommended for me. I don’t have to look for news anymore; it flows to me.

Virtually everywhere in the world, people still wake up and want their country to be more like the United States than any other nation. We are the envy of the world because of what we stand for and how our democratic process, flawed as it may often seem to be, operates. We should take pride in that.
Then there is a still higher type of courage – the courage to brave pain, to live with it, to never let others know of it and to still find joy in life; to wake up in the morning with an enthusiasm for the day ahead.
I wanted to be a farmer’s wife. I thought it would be quite fun to wake up of a morning, collect eggs and have sheep and pigs as pets. I know now that it would also involve having to sleep with the farmer, but at the time I wasn’t thinking about the sexual implications – I was 11.
We have to choose every day to be active participants. To wake up in the morning and choose this life and make something of it is an incredible thing. Not many living creatures have that option. We have so many opportunities and options – it’s a huge burden, but it’s also the most freeing part of our lives.
I always had really, really bad nightmares, like night terrors or whatever they’re called. I used to wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to move… I’d hallucinate and have really scary visions and dreams, so I wouldn’t want to sleep.
Every day that I wake up has to be a good day!
I could wake up six in the morning, go downstairs and record. I learned how to use ProTools and everything. Whenever I felt it, I could record.

I know and value what it means to wake up and be alive and to share my story. I’m so blessed to be here and to be able to talk about it.
I still pinch meself when I wake up of a morning. Who ever thought I’d be a children’s author – let alone a best-selling children’s author?
The first record I bought myself could have been ‘Oh Lonesome Me’ by Don Gibson or ‘Wake Up Little Susie’ by the Everly Brothers.
It’s not my passion to wake up at 6:00 in the morning to do my exercises. Sometimes I really hate it. I’m lazy.
I wake up every day and look at my own ugly mug in the mirror and don’t think twice about it. The fact that other people might want to look at me still feels funny. It’s flattering, but funny.
The only routine I have is that I finish everything I start. I wake up early every day – about 6.30 A.M. – but I do not work every day. I could laze for a day or two, but I wouldn’t do it for three.
There was a time when going out to parties and dinner parties and clubs was an exciting thing to do. I’d wake up in the morning and immediately think, ‘Now what am I doing tonight?’ Now I’d be more likely to reach for a book.

My daily routine is set: I wake up and go for gymnastics, then dance class, gym, and come back home. That’s my life. I am very boring.
When you stand up in the morning, you look in the mirror and say, ‘I’m black.’ No. You wake up and you see yourself as a human being in the world, but you raise discussion and raise aggression, the anger that you confront every day of your life, whether you want to or not.
I, of course, meditate for two hours every morning. It’s part of my schedule; I wake up at 4 a.m. every day and I love it.
Nowadays, everybody assumes, when they wake up in the morning, if they have a question, it will get answered. Because they have the internet. No matter what the question is, someone will answer their question.
I tell myself, ‘If I can wake up each day and be excited about what I’m doing, then I must be happy.’ But then again, maybe I’m in denial.
Singing and dancing is not just for the cast of ‘Glee’. We can wake up doing both and have it be a natural expression of who we are.
Guys wake up at your place and they expect breakfast. They don’t eat bagels and M&M’s in the morning. They want things like toast. I say, ‘I don’t have these recipes.’

I don’t want to wake up and not truly be enjoying my life and these amazing things around me.
I suspect that here theists and atheists would agree: Human beings have within them the ability to choose evil or good. We wake up each day facing the age-old struggle of good and evil. In some situations, mental illness clouds our judgment.
