“I was always active as a child. My dad tried to place me in every sport imaginable. I had so much energy, he wanted to push me in a direction where that energy was used appropriately to keep me out of trouble and focused while I was in school.”

“I've always liked game shows - the competitive aspect and the character-driven personalities you see.”

“I wanted to play football or be a boxer, but my dad didn't want that because of all the impact. But in 1992 I was watching short track, and it was obscure, but they looked like superheroes in their tight outfits, and I thought it was amazing. I wanted to do that. I made the national team at 14.”

“The way I lived my life, I truly wasn't an active resistance fighter.”

“I went to an inner-city school in Buffalo. We had no money. But our teachers believed in hands-on active learning - there was a mandatory science fair, which was critical.”

“To express the same idea in still another way, I think that human knowledge is essentially active.”
