Sometimes I think you can lose the joy in what you do. It becomes a sense of 'I've got to beat him, I've got to beat him,' and you lose your own sense of joy.

It really helps if you've got something like cycling, walking, running or swimming that can let your body release all that tension and keep your muscles fit.

There's a layer of satisfaction that I get from cooking that is more than the work itself. I think when you're too competitive sometimes you can lose the joy of what you do.

We [chefs] are competitive, although I think you need to be careful with competitiveness as it can become quite negative.

Being a sport star and a chef both require passion, commitment, work and natural ability.

Chef means boss and in France you get an office chef and you get a chef on a building site, etc. So I'm a chef de cuisine, chef of the kitchen, and that means that I'm in charge of a team.

The work element comes into it as well - how much you train and how much work you put into your craft, in the same way a carpenter would perhaps work under a great teacher, etc.

When does the external work improve? It improves when inner peace is attained.

Think about it this way: While being married is about becoming the WIFE you are meant to be, being single allows you to focus on becoming the WOMAN you were born to be.

Today is a brand new beginning for me!

We need heroes who'll inspire us so that maybe next time we'll dig a little deeper and find our best self.

You should never use propaganda to teach kids the truth.

Mister Dresden is a diplomatically challenged individual. He should be in a shelter for the tactless.

I go inside my head and become that other me, the one I don't tell anybody about. The observer... I live in terror that one day I won't get to be Dani again.

In some of the best worship songs we bring our praises to God - yet at the same time also end up preaching to ourselves.

Don't bring negative to my door.

Don't try to stop the foreclosure process. Let it run its course and hit the bottom.
