During the winter, you head out into the darkness for a run. When spring comes, and the first crocus pokes up its head...you know it was worthwhile.

Running gives freedom. When you run you can determine your own tempo. You can choose your own course and think whatever you want. Nobody tells you what to do.

I've always felt running is a form of meditation. Running enables us to stop our lives, to go out and find a safe place for ourselves.

I have always sensed the exhilaration and independence of being self-propelled. Besides, you can jog while pushing a baby carriage. Maybe I'm a product of Wonder Woman comic books

Are you truly dirty if you don't take a shower every day? No, but you feel that way. It's the same with running. Just like a shower, running is part of my daily life.

Religion has kept all of us suffocated, I can’t raise my voice you can’t raise your voice, still they call us fundamentalists.

The fewer the facts, the stronger the opinion.

I loved moustaches. I used to draw myself with one. When I was 14, I was really into war and Van Gogh.

Obeying the rules might be smart, but it's not as nearly as much fun.

You could travel the world, but nothing comes close to the golden coast. Once you party with us, you'll be falling in love, Oooooh Oh Oooooh!

I think I was born in Elizabethan times.

I realize only one person will be damaged beyond repair if Peeta dies. Me.

When anything can be art, art is not much of anything.
