I'm Chinese at heart - when I accidentally knocked a book off my desk I instinctively sighed, "Ai-yah!"

I admire hamstrings. They are a more subtle part of the body. I never noticed them much before. I think they are a real sign that someone is healthy (as opposed to having a figure from a lettuce-only diet). Check out Madonna's hams, for instance.

People with underdeveloped hamstrings are more likely to tear their ACL. It's actually an injury that women are more likely to have than men. The ratio of one's thigh/quadriceps strength to hamstring strength shouldn't be too skewed in favor of the quads.

I've been feeling bad about something, and someone told me that I should actually thank the universe for doing me this favour... instead of rejecting that message, I actually found it quite powerful.

"You can't shoot me! I have a very low threshold of death. My doctor says I can't have bullets enter my body at any time."

Living in a high-stress city doesn't lead to more personal problems or dysfunction. We'll have or find those problems wherever we are because of our programming. It just manifests differently based on where we are.

Does art stem from loneliness?

"The arts play a role in a community where there aren't many places to go escape. In Europe, so much of the great art happened in countries where there was a cold winter, and the way to escape was not physically but emotionally through the arts."

- John Meehan, Artistic Director of Hong Kong Ballet. Also, someone I've worked with in the past (when he was with ABT).
