I am I, and I wish I weren't.

I was scared of water, so I learnt swimming.

The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.

I have to say that when you tour the world, obviously, the jetlags and different hours and ways of living and traveling, a lot of hours in the plane, and you wake up in the morning and you're not quite sure where you are, and it is very tiring.

Everybody has adversity in their lives and we all have to find ways of overcoming them. You've got to soldier on, make the best of it, look for the positive in everything.

In the dim background of mind we know what we ought to be doing but somehow we cannot start.

Others can challenge and motivate us, but we must reach down deep into our souls and call forth our God-given intelligence and capabilities. We cannot do this when we depend on the efforts of someone else.

Swords appear strong, but they're actually quite weak. Jesus appears weak, but he's actually quite strong.

I can't imagine Christ being weak and carrying on about his burdens to women, let alone an Oprah type of woman. We respect and believe in Christ because of the way he dealt with life and how he overcame evil with good. His strength and love encourages those sincerely seeking to believe in God.

People who pity themselves think, 'Why would I try to do anything? I'll just fail.'

We really focus when we compete, not about the placement so much, just about us having our moment.

Getting on a plane and discovering that your seat belt won't fit around you was a moment of extreme horror. It was very hard to ignore.
