As you look back at your life there are just a million different things that have happened just in the right way to allow you to make your dreams come true. And you know someone has all that under control.

I believe history will come to view 9/11 as an event on par with November 22 1963 the date on which John F. Kennedy was murdered cutting short a presidency that was growing ever more promising. Dreams died that day in Dallas it is easy to imagine the 1960s turning out rather differently had President Kennedy lived.

In our increasingly secular society with so many disparate gods and different faiths superhero films present a unique canvas upon which our shared hopes dreams and apocalyptic nightmares can be projected and played out.

We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people different beliefs different yearnings different hopes different dreams.

Love is such an objective thing. I mean I can say I love my family or I love my Diet Coke. So I guess in different ways yeah I do believe in love.

I always recommend a sensible diet including lots of carbohydrates and avoiding too much fat. Dancers don't need different fuel from other people - they just need more of it because they use more energy.

Going meat-free can make a huge difference. Studies show that vegetarians are on average 10 to 20 pounds lighter than meat-eaters and that a vegetarian diet reduces our risk of heart disease by 40 percent and adds seven or more years to our lifespan.

Sticking to a diet required me to have a permanently low self-esteem. But happily I developed other skills beyond a fluctuating weight eventually building up a different source of self-worth.

I saw many people who had advanced heart disease and I was so frustrated because I knew if they just knew how to do the right thing simple lifestyle and diet steps that the entire trajectory of their life and health would have been different.

I put on fifteen pounds of muscle so that was a lot of eating chicken and a high protein low-carb diet. Also a lot of heavy lifting and a very different kind of training with an ex-navy SEAL guy who wanted to kill me every time I got with him. In a good way.
