“We are all born with a unique genetic blueprint, which lays out the basic characteristics of our personality as well as our physical health and appearance... And yet, we all know that life experiences do change us.”

“The only thing that is different from one time to another is what is seen and what is seen depends on how everybody is doing everything.”

“Now that I'm gone, I tell you: Don't smoke, whatever you do, just don't smoke.”

“People don't know my real self, and they're not about to find out.”

“Girls have an unfair advantage over men: if they can't get what they want by being smart, they can get it by being dumb.”

“It is not a matter of how many years we live, but what we do with them.”

“I am just a nice, clean-cut Mongolian boy.”

“When I am dead and buried, on my tombstone I would like to have it written, 'I have arrived.' Because when you feel that you have arrived, you are dead.”

“Basically, I am a shy person.”
