My wife wanted my children to have some Chinese culture and education. She believes the children need to learn two languages and two cultures.
I wanted to acquire an education work extremely hard and never deviate from my goal to make it.
It would be nice if education was free to everyone who wanted it but that's not the world we live in.
I love to fly. I always wanted to fly. It's been one of my dreams since I was 3 years old. I remember saying to my mom 3 years old every day 'I can fly!' Living on the ninth floor it was dangerous.
Don't think your dreams don't come true because they do. You'd better be careful what you wish for. And I truly and honestly - one day I am doing the 'Beaver' show and I said 'This is the show I have always wanted to do.'
And they were writing scripts where Christine had hit the glass ceiling. And I always thought Christine would never hit the glass ceiling. I thought her dreams would take her. Maybe her dreams wouldn't take her where she wanted but she still had her dreams.
I knew I wanted to do something creative. I didn't think I'd have the luxury of doing something like that because I didn't know anyone who had pursued anything they really adored but I had dreams for singing or writing.
I always wanted to be a Californian. In my wildest dreams I always liked California - it's the place where oranges grows on trees! Fruit just falls off the trees.
As a kid this is what I wanted my life to be. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever dare to dream that it would be this.
When I was a kid I wanted to be serious like Daniel Day-Lewis. No one really dreams of being a comic actor do they? Now I realise how stupid that is - and it's because comic acting isn't taken seriously enough. It's a discipline. You know instantly - either you're funny and getting the laughs or you're not.
My mother was always working for a job so I guess I was always trained that I should have multiple jobs multiple aspirations. And I remember she had multiple aspirations always hearing about her dreams and things she did in the past and things she wanted to do.
I've been interested in dreams since I as a kid and I've wanted to do a film about them for a long time.
I've never been bashful to say that I'm not really interested in Formula One. When I lived in England it's all I wanted to do and I thought that anything else would somehow be a compromise to my dreams. But then when I came back to the States I realised how much I loved being back in the States.
Men don't come up to you to just talk. We come up to you with a plan. We're looking across the room at you and we don't care about your hopes and dreams. We don't care about what your future holds. We saw something we wanted.
I just write what I wanted to write. I write what amuses me. It's totally for myself. I never in my wildest dreams expected this popularity.
If you continually diet you are putting your body in a quasi-famine situation. It slows your metabolism down and breaks the thermostat. Diets don't work. They don't help you understand why you're eating more than your body wanted in the first place.
I was a vegan for two years and I really enjoyed it. Then I got to a point in my life at which I wanted to do something else so now I'm a vegetarian. You should make your diet one that best fits you and how you feel. Listen to your body. The most important thing is to exercise drink lots of water and take really good care of yourself.
The one thing I like about 'Playboy' is they don't have the anorexic look. The women are voluptuous. So I didn't really want to diet. I just wanted to tone up.
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.
I still indulge in a glass of wine or chocolate - treats are mandatory. Without deviating from the day-to-day healthy diet once in a while it wouldn't be sustainable for me and that's what I wanted: an approach to eating to last my entire life.
I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance that's what I'd do. Or design clothes. I think I'd throw myself into whatever I'm doing now. It's not about abandoning what I was doing before or giving up. It's about knowing that if I die tomorrow I lived the way I wanted to.
When I started this project I was a young architect. I was very apprehensive about any changes to the design. Whether I wanted to or not I learned that you can accept some changes to its form without compromising its intent. But it's a leap of faith that I didn't want to make initially - to put it mildly.
It was something I was more interested in myself. When I went to see my sister dance at ballet I was really into costumes and the arts and my family was also supportive of whatever me and my sister wanted to do. I would say I pushed myself the most to be into design.
I discovered at an early age that all I've ever wanted to do is design.
