Once you have selected a sport or a creative activity, the rules are pretty much the same.

The greatest feeling of accomplishment for me is the fact that I was an athlete who was somewhat disabled.

Nutrition is also a valuable component that can help athletes both protect themselves and improve performance.

I have read many studies out of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and they demonstrated that Vitamin E, Co-Q-10, and Fish Oil could protect the immune system of athletes and prevent disease.

The East Germans first used biomechanics. This meant that rather than guessing about technique and form, they could apply changes to athletic performance based on science.

During the 60's, drug use was in fashion in the U.S.

The thing I always tell my audiences all the time is that I'm just two steps ahead of you on a good day. And I might be two steps behind you on a bad day.

Every letter was a love letter.

I don't think today's younger audience... would even know what 1920s musicals were like.

I'm the leader of the show, keepin' you on the go, but I know I can't live without my radio.

The beast that bears you fastest to perfection is suffering.

Less judgment than wit is more sail than ballast.
