Every day I try to do breathing exercises, meditation, and yoga. These things sound awfully cliche, but they help me slow down and try to point to a truth.

In the U.S., oddly, we have images of men as arrogant and aggressive.

I just spend my money on the essentials. Just basically food and shelter.

Sometimes when I'm swimming, I think that maybe someday I'll put my red Speedo up for auction. Or maybe I'll donate it to the Smithsonian. They can stuff it with two plums and a gherkin and put it on display.

I don't think I'd ever be cruel to an animal.

Privacy is something I have come to respect. I think when I was younger I wanted to tell everybody everything, because I thought I was so damn interesting. Then I heard the snoring.

I don't need my phone to play me music. I need it to be a phone and an e-mail thing.
