I think the athletes respond well to me because I have been successful.

Adopting a new healthier lifestyle can involve changing diet to include more fresh fruit and vegetables as well as increasing levels of exercise.

But I sometimes think we have too much of a fixation about 2012.

There was no money in the sport but we'd be out there day in, day out, rain or shine, doing it.

Some of today's athletes do not have that kind of pride. They left school at 16, have never had a job in their life and are getting Lottery funding, earning money as an athlete.

I know what it takes to get to the top.

If you criticise something then you have to have an alternative, but we do have to try and improve things.

I don't think there are really enough meetings in Britain for our athletes to compete properly, and because of this a lot of the talent we have has been stunted.

I am a coach on the outside of the establishment and that works.

I think it's great that they are getting funding, but it's just too easy. They don't have to work for it. We did it because we had pride, because we loved it.

I coach a few guys and they work very, very hard, but in our day we did it because we just loved it.

If I only could explain How much I miss that precious moment when I was free from the shackles of chronic pain.

Love is a mental madness.

When employees are happy, they are your very best ambassadors.

So nothing is ever good or bad unless you think it so, and vice versa. All luck is good luck to the man who bears it with equanimity.

Everybody puts importance in money on a film set.

I do not know what right I have to so much happiness, but rather hold it in reserve till the time of my desert.

Down the road someone is practicing scales, The notes like little fishes vanish with a wink of tails

If others surpass you in knowledge, in charm, in strength, in fortune, you have other causes to blame for it; but if you yield tothem in stoutness of heart you have only yourself to blame.

If I had free time to go to Los Angeles to shoot a movie, I would rather spend it with my kids.

Grieve only if you have committed a sin, but even in this case do not grieve too much, otherwise you may become desperate.
