When you promise something, you must fulfill it.

All athletes need three things: commitment, discipline and hard work. Without that it's hard to keep running.

When you run the marathon, you run against the distance, not against the other runners and not against the time.

Once you have commitment, you need the discipline and hard work to get you there.

I always tell young athletes the same thing, 'Wherever you go, whatever you do, what must your top priority be? Running.'

Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines?

My job is to protect you, Lady Glinda even if you are loosing your mind.

The Lord's hand in in our lives; if we will but feel for it, in the darkness, we can grasp it and be lifted thereby.

I feel like I'm a fan of film who's actually in the business, too. So it'd be like saying like, ‘Yeah, I love the NFL,’ and then, ‘Yeah, I'm also a wide receiver.’
