I believe with all my heart that civilization has produced nothing finer than a man or woman who thinks and practices true tolerance.

God did not intend the human family to be wafted to heaven on flowery beds of ease.

Some one has said that most of us don't think, we just occasionally rearrange our prejudices.

I suspect that even today, with all the progress we have made in liberal thought, the quality of true tolerance is as rare as the quality of mercy.

The thing is, I grew up in L.A., so I had this unique opportunity to live in both communist Russia and see that life, and then move to America as a young girl and experience a completely different life.

I think almost everything in life is life-experience, personality-driven.

Having success as a team is much more fun than having individual success. I have learned this lesson through the many wins I have experienced as a team.

I respect my opponents, I learned that from life. I used to think I would step in there, throw one punch and the other girl would go down and not get up again. Everytime I thought that, I lost.
