Athletics is in my blood.

All athletes need three things: commitment, discipline and hard work. Without that it's hard to keep running.

When you run the marathon, you run against the distance, not against the other runners and not against the time.

Once you have commitment, you need the discipline and hard work to get you there.

I always tell young athletes the same thing, 'Wherever you go, whatever you do, what must your top priority be? Running.'

Always, if you win mentally, you can win physically as well.

For me a day without training is like a day without eating.

You must do as your people do. If my people are poor, I must be poor. People ask me, 'Why don't you find a personal coach or a private car?' I can't. Then I won't be part of my people.

You need three things to win: discipline, hard work and, before everything maybe, commitment. No one will make it without those three. Sport teaches you that.

I will always listen to my coaches. But first I listen to my body. If what they tell me suits my body, great. If my body doesn't feel good with what they say, then always my body comes first.

It is not my duty to spend my money in my country, but it is what I want to do. There is nowhere else I would like to invest.

Easy. Peasy

To be is to do.

M*A*S*H offered real characters and everybody identified with them because they had such soul. The humor was intelligent and it always assumed that you had an intellect.

I've lost a lot of teeth and square yards of hide. But I've never lost my self-respect, and I've kept what I find in few men of my age - my enthusiasm.

Sarah Palin has decided not to run for President and go straight to the quitting part.

Do what needs to be done, when it needs to be done the best way it can be done, and do it that way every time.

If you look at American studios, the big productions have nothing to do with reality.

I've traveled all over the country for years speaking in churches, teaching the Ten Commandments. It's amazing if 2 percent of any congregation knows the Ten Commandments.

I'm a very comfortable and happy-go-lucky old man. I never wanted to be great, because I'd just get worried.

Never look back, reminising on yesterday, smile for the future, tomorrow's a new day.
