I would love to encourage all my teammates to eat the best way they possibly can. High school athletes. Now, that’s not the way our food system in America is set up. It’s very different. They have a food pyramid, and I disagree with that. I disagree with a lot of things that people tell you to do.

I want my food dead. Not sick, not dying, dead.

Your teammates give you the confidence. They give me the confidence all year, all postseason.

Drinking water is essential to a healthy lifestyle.

There are GMO skeptics more in Europe maybe than in other places, but not exclusively.

After an era of everything being super-sized, who would have thought that major companies would be racing to market smaller, lower-calorie versions of their snacks and beverages – from half-sized candy bars to little, mini soda cans? We see it everywhere we go.

Atheism shows strength of mind, but only to a certain degree.

‚Tis not enough to help the feeble up, but to support them after.

I read the NY Times but I don’t trust all of it.

A young man who wishes to remain a sound atheist cannot be too careful of his reading.

No body can be healthful without exercise, neither natural body nor politic, and certainly, to a kingdom or estate, a just and honourable war is the true exercise.

I have written too much history to have faith in it; and if anyone thinks I’m wrong, I am inclined to agree with him.

I want to lose weight because I want to be focused, meaning healthy.

All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it. I get back to the dugout and they ask me what it was I hit and I tell them I don’t know except it looked good.

I really don’t believe in magic.

Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true.

Nutrition is so important. It can’t be stressed enough.

I don’t believe in icons.

In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires.

Young people these days don’t trust anything at all. They want to be free.

I eat only vegetables and fruit, and to me it’s the most aspirational diet because it’s so easy. It’s quite simple, the cooking I do.

I think Weetabix and full-fat milk is what it is all about.

In the ideal world, if I was perfect, I’d be able to beat every teammate that I have, in every race.

Instead of being critical of people in authority over you and envious of their position, be happy you’re not responsible for everything they have to do. Instead of piling on complaints, thank them for what they do. Overwhelm them with encouragement and appreciation!

We are always paid for our suspicion by finding what we suspect.

Today we say that the law of relativity is supposed to be true at all energies, but someday somebody may come along and say how stupid we were.

I’m as skeptical as anyone would be about celebrities and causes – and I will dare to say to you that I don’t think of myself as a celebrity per se.

A family looks for ways to support and inspire one another.

A lot of people, because of my contempt for the false consolations of religion, think of me as a symbolic public opponent of that in extremis. And sometimes that makes me feel a bit alarmed, to be the repository of other people’s hope.

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.

I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict.

I was raised by a mother who told me I was great every day of my life.

I don’t believe in astrology; I’m a Sagittarius and we’re skeptical.

We can make a commitment to promote vegetables and fruits and whole grains on every part of every menu. We can make portion sizes smaller and emphasize quality over quantity. And we can help create a culture – imagine this – where our kids ask for healthy options instead of resisting them.

I think that that’s the wisest thing – to prevent illness before we try to cure something.

Nothing fortifies scepticism more than the fact that there are some who are not sceptics; if all were so, they would be wrong.

Sometimes, it’s just easier to say yes to that extra snack or dessert, because frankly, it is exhausting to keep saying no. It’s exhausting to plead with our kids to eat just one more bite of vegetables.

We want to do a lot of stuff; we’re not in great shape. We didn’t get a good night’s sleep. We’re a little depressed. Coffee solves all these problems in one delightful little cup.

And let’s be clear: It’s not enough just to limit ads for foods that aren’t healthy. It’s also going to be critical to increase marketing for foods that are healthy.

What some call health, if purchased by perpetual anxiety about diet, isn’t much better than tedious disease.

I’ve always been surrounded by many great people and professors, but my family, especially my mom who was a teacher, was the person who encouraged me to study and pushed me to continue. When we’re young, we don’t understand why our parents bug us so much with school and doing homework, but it’s a blessing to have that support at home.

Believers, look up – take courage. The angels are nearer than you think.

My dinners at home are startlingly simple. Every night, I stop at the market near my hotel and pick up a steak, lamb chops or some liver, which I broil in the electric oven in my room. I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat, and that is all. I must be part rabbit; I never get bored with raw carrots.

French fries kill more people than guns and sharks, yet nobody’s afraid of French fries.

The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd.

I firmly believe that sleep and recovery are critical aspects of an effective and holistic training program.

Exercise is bunk. If you are healthy, you don’t need it: if you are sick you should not take it.

I do not believe any of the statistical claims that are made about public opinion. I don’t see why anybody does.

The reason that I’m here at all is because of my relationship with my family and their encouragement of me to be a musician and to work hard. As long as I stay there in that space, I can do anything. That’s my truth.

I’m very serious about no alcohol, no drugs. Life is too beautiful.

I drink a lot of coconut water. It balances out all the other toxic stuff I put into my body.
