CHICAGO has a burly, action-oriented but STILL self-assured and relaxed confidence to its stride. The CITY has a lot of wide-open SPACE and all the POSSIBILITIES that suggests. There's a lot of horizontal grandeur here.

I take my forgetfulness in a positive STRIDE because I ALSO FORGET the problems.

The PROCESS of being filmed was, I found, peculiar but not discomfiting. At 13, you are malleable, adaptable, BETTER ABLE to take the unusual in your STRIDE.

So now I'm 'the HOT dog guy,' which isn't BAD. I TAKE it in stride. It's not like it was my GOAL in life. I'm having fun with it.

When you're hot, you stride confidently down the street, extending your FORM to hail a taxi to TAKE you from place to place. My body is DESIGNED for squeezing into packed subway cars and apologizing to those whose feet I clumsily STEP on.

I think one should TAKE CRITICISM in one's stride and PROVE oneself. In fact, I WOULD like to thank my CRITICS as their criticism gave me the fire and passion to prove myself.

I think CRICKET is there in Usain Bolt's blood. Since I got to WATCH from close quarters, it was amazing to see him run up to bowl. The PERFECT delivery stride is understandable because he is a world champion athlete. But the manner - he loaded at the crease and then bowled the ball - left me zapped. He looked like a natural cricketer.
