I love to work out. I need to work out! Nothing makes me feel better than walking out of a spin or barre class knowing my body and mind got some attention.

The sound of the blades on the ice in the morning is like smelling fresh coffee.

I am very competitive, so when I fail I use what I learned from that mishap to fuel success.

Over the years, God and St. Therese have kept me going no matter how bad things were.

Getting through a workout is just very fulfilling. That 'Ah, I didn't want to do it but I did it and now I feel 10 times better.'

I believe in myself and in Saint Therese.

The highlight of my career? The Olympics, of course.

As long as I leave my frustration behind, I know I am moving toward my goal again.

I love working out and when I'm home. I love the feeling of walking out of a class. That's just an addictive feeling for me.

Black is now in desperate need of a good idea. Or, to put it standard chess notation, +-

I'm always surprised when the corporate world does stupid things, because they're often not very stupid in hindsight.

Every roof is agreeable to the eye, until it is lifted; then we find tragedy and moaning women, and hard-eyed husbands.

Every country in Europe needs immigrants for its economic survival.

The nation that will insist upon drawing a broad line of demarcation between the fighting man and the thinking man is liable to find its fighting done by fools and its thinking by cowards.
