One thing I think I've always felt about being in nature is that it's a very natural taste.

I found things in the woods that I didn’t know I was looking for… and now I’ll never be the same.

Something deep within me connected with hard work, nature and simplicity.

One of the best feelings I had growing up was being completely exhausted at the end of the day after playing outside all day.

My motivation to keep hiking was rooted in the magnificent details of the Appalachian Mountains, and the more I poured myself out - the more energy I gave the trail - the more it gave me in return.

Our bodies are made to move, and moving down the trail is one of the oldest, natural ways people have used their bodies.

I'd always had an interest of pushing my limits and was intrigued by endurance.

A lot of people talk about the trail healing them, but I feel like, the first time, it humbled me, which I probably needed. It was a completely new way to experience the world and my body.

I was surrounded by life and beauty. My soul was content, and my life felt full.

I know that I was hiking at a very young age because I remember being convinced that it was the trees that were talking.

I would rather watch a sunset than TV.

An improper mind is a perpetual feast.

We cheated on our math tests, we carved some dirty words on the desk.

Deep down we are all still runners

Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.

So dance music is now pop music. So now, as a dance producer, what do I have to do? So I'm starting to do alien music, because pop is not pop anymore; we need to go alien to be independent.

The only time the press doesn’t sensationalize information is when one of their own is kidnapped. Interesting how they show restraint then.

Unquestionably, American political rhetoric can be repugnant, and the Right can certainly be as guilty as the Left.

I don't think Mike Tyson's a bad guy. I think the people, the media, makes him out to be a bad guy.

In statesmanship get formalities right, never mind about the moralities.

But nothing seems to do any good.
