I have no place left to live but in my own heart.

Young girls come up to me all the time to ask for advice. They see me as a survivor.

I have never won a race, and that is my main disappointment - but you have to be positive.

I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT CRITICS, LIKE I SAID THEY DONT BUY TICKETS.

The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind.

Don't eat fried food, it angries up the blood.
