Every time I bomb out, I have to come back. I have a feeling after a bad race that my next one will be good.

The marathon can humble you.

To be a consistent winner means preparing not just one day, one month or even one year - but for a lifetime.

I believe in gradual experimentation with running shoes.

Being a runner means you are now 'free' to win and lose and live life to its fullest.

I often lose motivation, but it's something I accept as normal.

If you want to win a race you have to go a little berserk.

Anybody can be a runner. We were meant to move. We were meant to run. It's the easiest sport.

Don't feel guilty about driving somewhere nice to run. If people can drive to a park to eat hot dogs, you can drive there to run.

Runners are the ultimate celebration people. Running is just so intense, you're really experiencing life to the fullest.

I always say if the marathon is a part-time interest, you will only get part-time results.

It made me wonder if there is much difference in our hearts between love and grief. they both have a yearning that seems unable to be satisfied.

It's almost worth retiring just so I can speak to you.

Don't waste time on what's not important. Don't get sucked into the drama. Get on with it: don't dwell on the past. Be a big person; be generous of spirit; be the person you'd admire.

Honesty is a big deal, and when your honest everything will fall into place.

I saw all of the films [based on The Tempest] available, including the one with Helen Mirren in which Prospero is Prospera - you wonder, "Would it work?" But it does, because anything she does works.

Destiny planned out, I don't need no hand out.

Photography is like making cheese. It takes a hell of a lot of milk to make a small amount of cheese just like it takes a hell of a lot of photos to get a good one.

I want to hear an alternative viewpoint, and I don't want girls to be defanged and declawed and pretty and mute.

The world is a mirror of infinite beauty, yet no man sees it.

Dancing's not work. You can't call it work. A day I don't dance is a day I don't live.
