What is the one single thing you are most passionate about in your life? (really, only one)
The one thing I am most passionate about in my life is tennis. I started playing really late, and initially I meant to do it just for fun, a little bit on the side. But somehow I got sucked into it big time, and for the last ten or so years I've had an average of playing at least a few times every week, sometimes as often as every day before I had to sell my soul to work.
I don't know what it is about tennis, but it's the perfect distraction and stress relief for me, even if I sometimes take it too seriously. It's helped me through some tough times, and if I can't play for a stretch of time I get moody and irritated.

Pick a quote/lyric that you feel is one of the mottos of your life, and explain why you feel that way.
He is a hard man who is only just, and a sad one who is only wise. - Voltaire
Being able to say that as a person, I am being both just and wise, is something that I would like to achieve in my lifetime. I've been known to say I want to be David Rossi from Criminal Minds when I grow up, and it's mostly because he manages the perfect combination of those two concepts. I think it's easy to lose sight of the bigger picture of what kind of person you are when you only focus on either one of them. But combining just and wise, I see that as a true achievement.
