When I LOOK BACK on my knee-jerk reactions now, I REALIZE I should have just TAKEN a BREATH.

I once SAW an elaborate LANDSCAPE in a gallery, drawn in pencil, that took my breath AWAY. Then I realized the ARTIST probably didn't have enough confidence to use a PEN.

Except during the NINE MONTHS before he draws his first breath, no man manages his AFFAIRS as well as a tree does.

'Take My Breath Away' had that interesting bass line, which I hear QUITE often. It had that terrible CHANGE of KEY, which Terri Nunn HATED, but I loved.

I like to let my SKIN BREATH as much as possible on my days off, when I don't have to WEAR full or heavy make-up. So I just apply it as a moisturiser, knowing that it's going to even out my skin tone and GIVE me SPF 15 coverage, too.

When I was LIVING in New York, I tried to make it WORK for a year, but I didn't REALLY have my own space to be creative. It was really inspiring, but I think that coming to L.A. has allowed me to take a BREATH.

We LEARN our virtues from our friends who love us; our FAULTS from the enemy who hates us. We cannot EASILY DISCOVER our real character from a friend. He is a mirror, on which the warmth of our BREATH impedes the clearness of the reflection.

I LOVE composing MUSIC and it's LIKE a breath of fresh air for me.

The FIRST TIME I kissed Brad my knees went weak - I literally LOST my BREATH!

We still had all our PROBLEMS GROWING up as a struggling immigrant FAMILY, but Australia was LIKE a breath of fresh air, literally. Playing on grass, having good schools - trees. I didn't even know trees where I'd come from. So from the day I got here, I've LOVED Australia.

You should FIGHT for EVERY BREATH you have.

You do wonder - when you are at 28,000 feet, the HEIGHT that aeroplanes CRUISE at, when you are STRUGGLING to draw BREATH and every limb aches - why do I do this?

Before I step in the Octagon, I PRAY one LAST TIME and take a HUGE deep breath, and then I'm home.

The first few YEARS I was competing, I'd ride so well in practice, then choke and fall in competition. Now I take a deep BREATH and say, 'Look at me. I'm outside. I'm doing what I love.' Still, nothing's matched the PRESSURE I felt STANDING at the top of the halfpipe for the first time at the OLYMPICS.
