Another little known fact about Amazing Tennis - the computer opponents are modeled after real people. In an odd turn of events I joined a division 3 college tennis team at age 38.

That's double-edged: it's amazing that they're bringing me in and showing people new ideas and at the same time it's a little hard because seventy percent of the time or even higher I'm not going to get those roles.

I've been given an amazing opportunity and I could not be more grateful. But I also know that all this will eventually die off. It's not real. It will go away and then you'll go away and then I don't know I'll be left sitting in some English hotel room.

I'm from the Madeleine L'Engle school. The more she delves into science the more she knows there's a creator who's behind these amazing laws these amazing events. The symmetry of nature the structure and order of it.

I love getting dressed up. Being a pop star is the most brilliant job for that. A lot of girls love shopping but they might see the most amazing outfit and think 'When am I going to wear that?' so it's my duty to exploit the fact I do have events I can wear these things to.

Every time I got 'Amazing Spider-Man' or 'Fantastic Four' or another book firmly on the rails we got pulled into some big event book or crossover and it cost momentum and messed badly with the pacing and structure of the book.

The law was made for one thing alone for the exploitation of those who don't understand it or are prevented by naked misery from obeying it.

I've spent as much as 30 grand on a watch but it's not about flaunting my wealth. I don't have many extravagances but watches are my biggest one. I must have 30 of them now. I've been collecting since the age of nine when I won a black TAG in a karting event.

Almost all of your life is lived by the seat of your pants one unexpected event crashing into another with no pattern or reason and then you finally reach a point around my age where you spend more time than ever looking back. Why did this happen? Look where that led? You see the shape of things.

Age puzzles me. I thought it was a quiet time. My seventies were interesting and fairly serene but my eighties are passionate. I grow more intense as I age.

We incorporated new tastes and flavors into our kids' diets from a very early age which helped to develop their palates and prevented them from becoming picky eaters. We don't buy junk food and give them options of fresh fruit yogurt raw almonds or dried whole grain cereals for snack time.

Age is not measured by years. Nature does not equally distribute energy. Some people are born old and tired while others are going strong at seventy.

When I was seventeen I worked as a counsellor at a co-ed sleep-away camp for eight weeks. I loved it but it could be harrowing - it was far too much responsibility for someone my age.

'Dallas' hit a chord back in the late Seventies and Eighties because it was the age of greed: here you have this unapologetic character who is mean and nasty and ruthless and does it all with an evil grin. I think people related to JR back then because we all have someone we know exactly like him. Everyone in the world knows a JR.

Over the years Woodstock got glorified and romanticised and became the event that symbolised Utopia. It's the last page of our collective memory of the age of innocence. Then things turned ugly and would never be the same again.

Genius is present in every age but the men carrying it within them remain benumbed unless extraordinary events occur to heat up and melt the mass so that it flows forth.

Oh if I had been loved at the age of seventeen what an idiot I would be today. Happiness is like smallpox: if you catch it too soon it can completely ruin your constitution.

The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes but you don't change at all. And that of course causes great confusion.
