— Adam Cole

— Abbie Cornish
I think sports and bodybuilding were the only things that saved me from getting beat up. People are not pleased, for whatever reason, when you can answer all the questions in class. If not for the respect I got from track, cross-country, wrestling and bodybuilding, it would have been a disaster.

— Afrika Bambaataa

— Aaron Sorkin
