“I want to show everyone in this world that the soul is the source of our happiness, strength and health. Love actually comes from the soul, from the light.”

The cortex is the enemy.

I think of the cold as a noble force.

I’m not afraid to die. But I’m afraid to not live.

I don’t bother with gyms, I just workout where I happen to be whether it’s in the garden or at home.

Your brain has the power to modify your pain perception.

I had to find the interconnection of my brain together with my physiology.

Cold is merciless. It shows you where you are. What you are.

Anybody is able to doubt me. I say, ‘Come with your criticism to polish the diamond of the truth.’ People need to wake up to their own power. Everybody has this nature.

When I am performing ice immersion, actually I do not think very much. It is all before.

I never had a teacher, and I never had lessons, other than hard Nature itself.

Yes, my teacher is the cold.

In the cold I centre myself and my breathing to transfer all my heat into the centre of my body.

I’ve done about anything I can fantasize about in the cold.

I’m able to control the body through just the power of the mind.

Every body has mind power, I have learned to direct it toward my body and thus influence the cold and heating-system of my metabolism.

We are built to be happy, strong and healthy. I fear not to live. We have everything to live up to our dreams. You have everything to achieve that, and in a very short period of time you can get all the tools to manifest who you want to be.

Beauty is nothing but a promise of happiness.

I got good grades in school, but I’m not sure if I’m smart or if it just means I can study. I’ve never taken one of those IQ tests, and I don’t want to. It’s so pointless. As long as you enjoy life and have fun and you’re healthy and happy, that’s what matters.

Faith, I am no such fool; everyone for himself in this desert of selfishness which is called life.

All the films are hits before you turn the camera on. It’s only in the execution that they fail. I’ve been less than happy with the way a couple of films were edited, but it’s a director’s prerogative and you gotta go with it.

Love is perhaps no more than gratitude for pleasure.

When you’re a working actor and you’re happy to be one, you can’t focus all your energy on acting because you will go crazy. You have to focus as much energy as you can away from yourself.

I’ll be happy if I can just stay out of Nebraska.

What we truly desire is happiness, which is truly found without desire.
