So from a very young age my mom tells me that I wanted to be Michael J. Fox. I didn't want to be an actor. I just wanted to be Michael J. Fox for awhile. And then I realized that he was an actor so I pursued that.

My first big job was an Abercrombie &Fitch campaign. But my mom wouldn't let me skip school for it so I missed half of the shoot. When we got there we realized Bruce Weber was the photographer we knew we had made a mistake!

I want my daughter to be proud of me and look up to me. I think early on in my pregnancy I realized that to be the mom I want to be I had to change my life and that's what I'm doing.

I've realized how precious life is. When I was younger I was more adventurous. I felt invincible. I was game for everything. As a mom I don't want to get injured because then I can't take care of my kids.

Ever since I was a little kid I've felt comfortable in a suit. It all started when my mom bought me a three-piece Pierre Cardin suit. I wore that thing everywhere. Eventually I realized I was going to be the kid who got beat up in school but I kept wearing it.

I have been doing marriage counseling for about 15 years and I realized that what makes one person feel loved doesn't make another person feel loved.

I was against gay marriage until I realized I didn't have to get one.

Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized.

In college I never realized the opportunities available to a pro athlete. I've been given the chance to meet all kinds of people to travel and expand my financial capabilities to get ideas and learn about life to create a world apart from basketball.

What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner.

And Americans realized that native people are still here that they have a moral standing a legal standing.

That was a real learning element for me because I realized that the more true you are to yourself the more you will lose people.

Later I realized that the mission had to end in a let-down because the real barrier wasn't in the sky but in our knowledge and experience of supersonic flight.

But it was this tough little character part that I was playing a very funny little guy that I invented over a weekend because I realized I was not contributing to the humor of this thing. And I had to do something.

I realized women and humor were linked very closely.

I was sort of in denial about doing country for awhile but I sort of grew up and realized who I was what I wanted to say. I think country music is the best music in the world and I'm glad to be doing a country album. I hope people will love it as much as I loved making it.

My hopes are not always realized but I always hope.
