Wasim and Waqar were amazing bowlers. I would put them right up there with the best in the world.

I mean why am I considered an 'it girl?' Because I'm in a lot of movies right now or am on the covers of magazines? I just hope there is something solid behind that. Because here's the thing with 'it girl' status. It's great and amazing that anybody is saying that at all. But how long does that last?

At the New York Athletic Club they serve amazing food. People go there get healthy and then eat themselves to death - which is I suppose the right way to do it.

What has made America amazing has been the fact that throughout our history throughout the more than 200 years of our history there have been men and women of courage who stood up and decided it was more important to look out for the future of their children and their grandchildren than their own political futures.

There was once a caustic comment from someone suggesting I was breeding a new race. Fans from different countries have married amazing things like that. I've been to some of the weddings. I went to one here the other day a pagan ceremony.

I was informed yesterday that there's a Twitter account for my laugh. Very hard to get used to things like that. Pretty amazing.

Isn't it amazing that we are all made in God's image and yet there is so much diversity among his people?

When I was trying to impress Kate I was trying to cook these amazing fancy dinners and what would happen was I would burn something something would overspill something would catch on fire and she would be sitting in the background trying to help and basically taking control of the whole situation so I was quite glad she was there at the time.

What I've enjoyed most though is meeting people who have a real interest in food and sharing ideas with them. Good food is a global thing and I find that there is always something new and amazing to learn - I love it!

France and the whole of Europe have a great culture and an amazing history. Most important thing though is that people there know how to live! In America they've forgotten all about it. I'm afraid that the American culture is a disaster.

There are a lot of people with a lot of money and I'm amazed they don't understand what a great pleasure it can be to give.

I like pens. My writing is so amazing there's never a need to erase.

If there was an observer on Mars they would probably be amazed that we have survived this long.

There are amazingly wonderful people in all walks of life some familiar to us and others not. Stretch yourself and really get to know people. People are in many ways one of our greatest treasures.

My brother and Lauren are very close with me and they are in Sun Valley so sometimes I need to go there and feel their presence. And there are times I need to see my bro' alone.

No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown in the end there is one dance you'll do alone.

There's a sense of aliveness that comes from connection shared experience. And you see it in every place. You see it when ball players jump up and down gather at home plate hugging and it's not just because they're winning it's that shared moment that feeling of - we enter the world alone we leave alone.

When anything goes digital let alone something as immaterial as a book there is a tendency to see it as just in the air to be taken and to lose the sense that somebody once made it.

If there's ever an example that military power alone cannot be successful in Afghanistan I think it was the Soviet experience.

And I don't have any specific steps to take because I don't start the same way every time. But there is a knowing when it's enough and you can leave it alone.
