I have never taken any exercise, except sleeping and resting, and I never intend to take any.

It is foolish to tear one’s hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less by baldness.

Never get out of bed before noon.

I really love training and being in good shape, and it’s so much a part of my life now, so it never really feels like work to me.

Many of us have been running all our lives. Practice stopping.

I think women want to take care of themselves, and I think having a voice in how that is done is very important.

I need to keep working on myself for a while.

Vanity is the healthiest thing in life.

Don’t judge. I used to buy underwear because I didn’t do my laundry.

Eat to please thyself, but dress to please others.

Mind over mattress.

I’ve always put everybody else’s child first before my own health, before my own outfit, before my own time frame.

There is no austerity equal to a balanced mind, and there is no happiness equal to contentment; there is no disease like covetousness, and no virtue like mercy.

If you want what you’re saying heard, then take your time and say it so that the listener will actually hear it. You might save somebody’s life. Your own, first.

Be pleasant until ten o’clock in the morning and the rest of the day will take care of itself.

Use your health, even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is for. Spend all you have before you die; do not outlive yourself.

The purpose of a vacation is to have the time to rest. But many of us, even when we go on vacation, don’t know how to rest. We may even come back more tired than before we left.

I think writing really helps you heal yourself. I think if you write long enough, you will be a healthy person. That is, if you write what you need to write, as opposed to what will make money, or what will make fame.

There are moments when all anxiety and stated toil are becalmed in the infinite leisure and repose of nature.

God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures.

I love being active.

Your own soul is nourished when you are kind; it is destroyed when you are cruel.

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.

Exceptionally hard decisions can deplete your energy to the point at which you finally cave in. If you mentally crumble and degenerate into negative thinking, you’ll magnify the problem to the point where it can haunt you.

I can’t stress to you enough how much I can relate to teens being cyberbullied. Something that helps me is looking at old videos of me and my friends from middle school, or videos of my family. I love watching funny videos of my favorite people – it really cheers me up.

I really wanted to retire and rest and spend more time with my children, my grandchildren and of course with my wife.

I like to be in control of how I look and how I feel and how I act.

I know I have to run 20 more minutes if I eat ice cream. Basically, I eat everything, but I just do more training.

I don’t worry about stress. I create it.

Going home helps the content.

Turn resolutely to work, to recreation, or in any case to physical exercise till you are so tired you can’t help going to sleep, and when you wake up you won’t want to worry.

The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.

Our growing softness, our increasing lack of physical fitness, is a menace to our security.

I’m very type-A, and many things in my life are about control and domination, but eating should be a submissive experience, where you let down your guard and enjoy the ride.

I still work out on a daily basis.

I was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It’s not true that I’m happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things.

If I can get my dress on, my weight is under control.

I became a beach bum.

I think every entertainer’s had nights when things go wrong. I mean you can’t remember everything all the time, and especially if you’re having hard times personally, things going on that you – you know, and then people make it worse. And that makes you feel worse.

One thing that I tell people all the time is, ‚I’m not going to answer a call from you after nine o’clock at night or before nine o’clock in the morning unless it’s an emergency.‘

I’m gonna go hard no matter what because I gotta feed my family, and I gotta feed myself.

Be a force of love as often as you can and turn away negative thoughts whenever you feel them surface.

The wish for healing has always been half of health.

I’m focusing on me. I’m focusing on my family’s security, my family’s financial security, so that’s all I can do.

I’ve never known any trouble than an hour’s reading didn’t assuage.

Guarding your heart and protecting your dignity are a little bit more important than clarifying the emotions of someone who’s only texting you back three words. I’ve learned that from trying to figure out people who don’t deserve to be figured out.

I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel.

The moment someone asks you to do something you don’t have the time or inclination to do is fraught with vulnerability.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.

I don’t drink at all.

What a nice night for an evening.

Protect your enthusiasm from the negativity of others.

I like to take it easy.

Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.

I don’t carry the burden of the past or the madness of the future. I live in the present.

I tend to stay up late, not because I’m partying but because it’s the only time of the day when I’m alone and don’t have to be performing.

I don’t believe in ‚thinking‘ old. Although I’ve transitioned through many bodies – a baby, toddler, child, teen, young adult, mid-life and older adult – my spirit is unchanged. I support my body with exercise, my mind with reading and writing, and my spirit with the knowing that I am part of the Divine source of all life.

Peace in the world starts with peace in oneself. If everyone lives mindfully, everyone will be more healthy, feel more fulfilled in their daily lives and there will be more peace.

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.

You need to understand what works best for your own body.
