I drink Diet Coke from the minute I get up to the minute I go to bed.

Rigid, the skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame.

I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence, without the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time.

Writing is fun – at least mostly. I write for four hours every day. After that I go running. As a rule, 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). That’s easy to manage.

I’m just wanting to make the proper breakfast and keep the house. That’s my passion. At the request of my kids, I’m taking cooking classes. As I go to sleep at night, I think, ‚Did I do a great job as a mom, or was that an average day?‘

People are using Windows PCs more than they watch TV now.

I tweet in the morning and the evening. To write 12 hours a day, there is a moment when you’re really tired. It’s my relaxing time.

I get up early in the morning, 4 o’clock, and I sit at my desk and what I do is just dream. After three or four hours, that’s enough. In the afternoon, I run.

Attention to health is life’s greatest hindrance.

It was a strike against me that I didn’t wear baggy jeans and jerseys and that I never hustled, never sold drugs.

Racing, competing, it’s in my blood. It’s part of me, it’s part of my life; I have been doing it all my life and it stands out above everything else.

What’s fascinating is, people in Washington would rather spend time in Hollywood, and people in Hollywood would rather spend time in Washington.

I love the freedom of movement that my phone gives me. That has definitely transformed my life.

Until 1914 I loved to travel; I often went to Italy and once spent a few months in India. Since then I have almost entirely abandoned travelling, and I have not been outside of Switzerland for over ten years.

Polygamy: An endeavour to get more out of life than there is in it.

I don’t care about money.

We have to rediscover the eternal values and then live them out.

I went by myself to Hollywood, I spoke no English, every day I had to go to school.

I don’t like celebrities; I don’t hang out with them; I don’t relate to that life.

Every day I go to my study and sit at my desk and put the computer on. At that moment, I have to open the door. It’s a big, heavy door. You have to go into the Other Room. Metaphorically, of course. And you have to come back to this side of the room. And you have to shut the door.

Most women put off entertaining until the kids are grown.

Pay attention, don’t let life go by you. Fall in love with the back of your cereal box.

I’ll never feel comfortable taking a strong drink, and I’ll never feel easy smoking a cigarette. I just don’t think those things are right for me.

Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.

If I forget to pray, I can’t get through the day without snapping at people.

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

I’m at peace with what I’m doing, I feel good with what I wake up doing and about my lifestyle.

Because you know when you first become famous, you start walking a little different because people are staring at you.

Successful people are simply those with successful habits.

There was the time I bought three cars in the span of three or four weeks. It was crazy; it wasn’t greedy. It was mine, my girl’s, my mom’s. I got Benzes for my ladies. But I felt crazy. You have to understand I come from a world where we’re very modest. But that’s not greedy. That’s nice, right?

Devote each day to the object then in time and every evening will find something done.

You don’t have to turn on the TV set. You don’t have to work on the Internet. It’s up to you.

Don’t run if you can walk. Don’t walk if you can stand. Don’t stand if you can sit. Don’t sit if you can lie down.

Part of my daily regime is my glucosamine and, of course, a multitude of multivitamins. Branched-chain amino acids, glutamine, of course protein. I have one protein shake a day, and that is immediately after my training.

Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

You know, fame is a funny thing, man, especially, you know, actors, musicians, rappers, rock singers, it’s kind of a lifestyle and it’s easy to get caught up in it – you go to bars, you go to clubs, everyone’s doing a certain thing… It’s tough.

True Scouts are the best friends of animals, for from living in the woods and wilds, and practising observation and tracking, they get to know more than other people about the ways and habits of birds and animals, and therefore they understand them and are more in sympathy with them.

It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.

Any other woman who has to go to work and pick up the kids and make dinner – that’s way harder than what I have to do.

I don’t have a need for speed. I’m not that guy.

If I wouldn’t have found Courtney, I probably would have carried on with a bisexual lifestyle.

Here comes 40. I’m feeling my age and I’ve ordered the Ferrari. I’m going to get the whole mid-life crisis package.

Wives are people who feel they don’t dance enough.

I’ve been known to have a good step or two. I’m half Samoan, you know, and part of our culture is singing and dancing daily.

I’m much healthier now.

A prohibitionist is the sort of man one couldn’t care to drink with, even if he drank.

I come from a family where gravy is considered a beverage.

I’m home a lot. Because I live in Ireland, we can live under the celebrity radar. I might go missing for a whole year.

I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me.

The average family spends 30 hours in front of a television, and they say they don’t have the time to have a balanced, integrated life.

Too many of us now tend to worship self indulgence and consumption.

Purity of personal life is the one indispensable condition for building up a sound education.

I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.

I hate to mention age, but I come from an era when we weren’t consumed by technology and television.

All the time, I’ve felt that life is a wager and that I probably was getting more out of leading a bohemian existence as a writer than I would have if I didn’t.

I am in the fighting game. I don’t care about anything else. I don’t watch the news, I don’t care about politics, I don’t care about other sports. I don’t care about anything I don’t need to care about. This is my sport: it is my life. I study it; I think about it all the time. Nothing else matters.

Before finding music, I didn’t have too many aspirations. I wanted to hang out, make a little money from whatever I had to do.

The first wealth is health.

Do I live as carelessly and worldly as unbelievers while professing to be a follower of Jesus? If so, I am exposing Christianity to ridicule and leading people to speak evil of the holy name by which I am called.

When one begins to live by habit and by quotation, one has begun to stop living.

I listen to music all day every day. I can’t not listen to music. It’s kind of scary how much I listen to music, but it’s what I love, and it’s all I care about, so I’m good with it.
