The more you are getting older, you lose a little something. Of course there is another advantage, because of your long experience you can use 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.'

Always, if you win mentally, you can win physically as well.

For me a day without training is like a day without eating.

You must do as your people do. If my people are poor, I must be poor. People ask me, 'Why don't you find a personal coach or a private car?' I can't. Then I won't be part of my people.

You need three things to win: discipline, hard work and, before everything maybe, commitment. No one will make it without those three. Sport teaches you that.

It is not my duty to spend my money in my country, but it is what I want to do. There is nowhere else I would like to invest.

Sometimes, the truth makes everything else seem like.

There will never be another Michael Jackson, a huge pop star since (the age of) 7.

I got in touch with the creative process between the age of 14 and 16, mainly because I was alone so much.

I always felt people who took themselves seriously were kind of boring.

If I make a song where I'm happy, I sound completely mad - I think my voice is better-suited for sadder songs.

I guess that storytelling would be for me to keep making art that touches people in a way that nothing else can.

Make no mistake: Obamacare is a pro-death health program.

Chanting just hits you and you want to be a part of it. That’s the point of this whole thing. That’s what cuts through all the ‘stuff’. You get lit up. You don’t have to know what it means.

Male philosophers coin phrases -- 'virtue is its own reward' -- and female workers embody them.

I got to dress up in funny clothes and run around New Zealand with a bow and arrow for 18 months, how bad could that be?
