There are a lot of guys out there now who know they are not working as hard as other people. I can't fathom how they think.

We may train or peak for a certain race, but running is a lifetime sport.

If you want to achieve a high goal, you're going to have to take some chances.

I had as many doubts as anyone else. Standing on the starting line, we're all cowards.

Early in my career I was accused of being overconfident and even cocky, but I really was confident that I had done the training and didn't see any other reason to say otherwise.

An athlete who tells you the training is always easy and always fun simply hasn't been there. Goals can be elusive which makes the difficult journey all the more rewarding.

I've found that my athletes run their best races after about 10 weeks of intense training.

I've never enjoyed my running more. I also do 200 sit-ups a day, 60 push-ups, and a lot of stretching. I've had some back issues. I think the stretching helps with that.

We're all waiting for the opportunity to do big films but you have to wait your turn - unless you get offered something like Twilight when you're 20! Otherwise, you just have to keep slogging away.

I also smoke a lot of pot, occasionally, every day.

Most thinkers write badly, because they communicate not only their thoughts, but also the thinking of them.

Children are not a right, they are a privileged obligation.

To make a perfume, take some rose water and wash your hands in it, then take a lavender flower and rub it with your palms, and you will achieve the desired effect

I'm curious how you'll know it works. I assume it's mostly a cosmetic change.

You spend money on Internet connection for your employees. Why not spend money on the energy that fuels their brains?
