It gives me tranquility, a closeness of nature and wildlife, good health and fitness, a sense of security, the opportunity for resourcefulness, reflection and creative thinking.”

Occasionally discouragement may sneak in to our day; frustration may invite itself into our thinking; doubt might enter about the value of our work.

He, the father of all lies, will try to prevent us from seeing the end from the beginning.”

That challenge will bring their full capacities to the climax.”

“The reason I'm interested in alternative worlds and near-future settings is that it allows us to look at our own limitations in our worldviews.

I want empowered and educated people who understand a lot about the world's challenges to strive to be noble, rather than cynical. I think we still need more champions out there.”

Leading up to the show, getting out there in your underwear, you just want to feel your best mainly in your head than more anything else. Obviously you want to feel good physically too, so it's more just in your head, pushing yourself, approaching this challenge and taking the opportunity to push yourself a little further.”

“If you really think back to the great writers, there's a lot of happiness in Tolstoy; there's a lot of love, there's childbirth, and there's dances.
