I had been on this insane diet for almost 17 years to maintain the weight that was demanded of me when I was modeling. My diet was really starvation. I am not naturally that thin.

The markets make a good servant but a bad master, and a worse religion.

I'm not really interested in sports psychology. It makes me feel like a crazy person.
