It's difficult to believe that people are still starving in this country because food isn't available.

My mom was a professional fitness competitor so I go into the gym with her. I train with my dad and mother. It's embarrassing because she's really strong.

For a good workout I go to At One Fitness in North Hollywood where my trainer Jon Allsop puts me through it all. I like it because it's a small gym and I've known the people for a long time. Jon will have me do cross-training where I'll lift weights jump rope throw around a medicine ball and I never get to stop.

For years I always thought it was hilarious that I was this fitness guru because fitness was just a tool I utilized to help people improve their confidence. For me it's never been about fitness. It's always been about helping to empower people.

I have long recognized a link between fitness and mental health and I think we need to encourage young people to take part in sports and team activities because we know it has such positive results.

With both kids I started working out again at 16 days postpartum but I treated myself with kindness doing mild workouts because my fitness level was lower.

The spirit of the Olympic movement is great for young people because it teaches them about the training and discipline required to compete. Even if they don't make the teams they can rededicate their lives to the art of sport discipline and physical fitness.

I can't eat whatever I want definitely not. I'm always controlled because I do a lot of fitness and triathlons not just Formula One so I always make sure I eat the right things.

Our children are obese either have or being threatened by diabetes high blood pressure high cholesterol and not socially adjusting properly to others because of a lack of fitness.

I suffer panic attacks which has made me really conscious about my fitness and I have become addicted to jogging. It might sound odd but a lot of good has come out of it. My fans send letters saying they have taken up jogging because I do it.

For whatever reason maybe it's because of my story but people associate Livestrong with exercise and physical fitness health and lifestyle choices like that.

You need to eat normally and healthfully and you need to exercise. I'm so passionate about this because I think people spend their lives not happy in their bodies.

It's not about weight it's about fitness and one component of being fit is to have relatively low body fat because fat is not very efficient whereas muscle is.

Exercise is done against one's wishes and maintained only because the alternative is worse.

Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning.

To be fair lying is part and parcel of public life. Every politician has lied about something because they are owned by the special interest groups that finance their elections.

It's very difficult to break into motion pictures but it's oddly easier for directors today because of independent films and cable who have inherited for the most part those films of substance that the studios are reluctant to finance.

Europe is difficult to coordinate and our main deficit may not even lie in this area of finance and economics but in foreign and security policy. We have a leadership problem because we are still 27 different members who have still not decided on how to work with each other based on what we used to call a European constitution.

There were a lot of people dreaming about making films and they would finance maybe 6 films a year. Because they were funded by the government the films sort-of had to deal with serious social issues - and as a result nobody went to see those films.

But because we in the United States finance our current account deficit by borrowing in our own currency we can move to a more competitive dollar without the adverse effects that followed currency declines in other countries.

The reason that minorities and women don't have a better shot at getting elected to the Senate or to statewide office is because the campaign finance rules are so skewed as to make it very difficult for non-traditional candidates to raise the money necessary to get elected.

I like eating out. I like buying beautiful paintings and being surrounded by beautiful things. I have to finance that life. I can barely afford a pension scheme because I don't make enough money.

Qaddafi is hated because he is the leader of a small country that is rich but he uses his money to finance liberation struggles.

At this point I don't get hired a lot because people don't think I could finance a movie.
