I had on my team a girl who at age twelve just missed the world mile record for her age group. But at 20 she just couldn't run.

Kids are afraid that if they race too fast they will get tired. Way too much fear and way too little COURAGE.

My key to victory was that I always went out way too fast. Too fast erases every other race strategy out there. Everyone is hanging on for dear life or they give up.

Set a new standard. Change reality. Break ground to something new and different. That achievement will live forever just because you WERE somebody special!

Everyone dies whether one is good in their lifetime or evil in their lifetime. So virtue has no payback. Life is meaningless. When you die, you die!

The essence of your awareness field definitely goes on after death. It goes through death, it goes into non-physical states for a time, and then eventually is pulled back and it reincarnates.

I find it really awkward to do a scene where I'm supposed to seem like I'm in love.

Each day is an occasion to reinvent ourselves
