Diplomacy: the art of restraining power.

Religion is the masterpiece of the art of animal training for it trains people as to how they shall think.

I started to make a study of the art of war and revolution and whilst abroad underwent a course in military training. If there was to be guerrilla warfare I wanted to be able to stand and fight with my people and to share the hazards of war with them.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act but a habit.

You know 'The Golden Girls' was a very unusual show to start on. I was young and it was a show about old people and it was a very traditional show but it was also an amazing training ground for a joke-writer. It forced me to learn those skills.

Training in taekwondo for eight years and then being able to do it in a film was pretty amazing.

I got amazing training both with Theatre Sports... back in Edmonton Alberta - I can't give those people enough credit - and the daytime drama I did. Incredible training both of them.

Looking back on those games I probably hustled out of position as much as I hustled into position since I really never had any real training. I was working on instincts alone.
