I have got better things to do in working with my athletes who I feel are going to be involved in 2012.

Adopting a new healthier lifestyle can involve changing diet to include more fresh fruit and vegetables as well as increasing levels of exercise.

But I sometimes think we have too much of a fixation about 2012.

There was no money in the sport but we'd be out there day in, day out, rain or shine, doing it.

Some of today's athletes do not have that kind of pride. They left school at 16, have never had a job in their life and are getting Lottery funding, earning money as an athlete.

I know what it takes to get to the top.

If you criticise something then you have to have an alternative, but we do have to try and improve things.

I don't think there are really enough meetings in Britain for our athletes to compete properly, and because of this a lot of the talent we have has been stunted.

I am a coach on the outside of the establishment and that works.

I think it's great that they are getting funding, but it's just too easy. They don't have to work for it. We did it because we had pride, because we loved it.

I coach a few guys and they work very, very hard, but in our day we did it because we just loved it.

The misfortune is that although everyone must come to [death], each experiences the adventure in solitude. We never left Maman during those last days... and yet we were profoundly separated from her.

He talks at the drop of a pause.

Canadians can easily 'pass for American' as long as we don't accidentally use metric measurements or apologize when hit by a car.

Live in the present moment and find your interest and happiness in the things of today.

I'm no longer dependent on the movie business to make a living. So if I want to make movies as other old guys would play golf, I can.

all at once I saw that the sun was round! Since then I have been the happiest man on Earth!

Even if we fail, we are still gaining life experience. The worst thing that could happen is that we come out smarter and more prepared for our next challenge.

Some have lavish garments, carry sharp swords, and feast on food and drink. They possess more than they can spend. This is called the vanity of robbers. It is certainly not the Way.

Time travels in divers paces with divers persons. I'll tell you who Time ambles withal, who Time trots withal, who Time gallops withal, and who he stands still withal.
