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

I know my body. I know my mind. I know what I can do.

When there is no oxygen the muscles become acidic and we can’t perform any more.

That’s what nature meant us to do, breathe deep when we are stressed.

Nature is so merciless – but so righteous.

Breathing and using cold, through cold showers and experiences, provides a boost of performance compared to anything that would be possible if the person had not done that.

Love is my mission.

As one can solve maths by concentrating do I focus on certain places in my body and generate heat because of it.

For me, God is cold.

Men need to laugh more.

I found by deeper breathing, going into the cold, thinking about it, dealing with it; getting the conviction that my ability to breathe deeper is making connections with my body.

With work and life, your true depth can become an alien thing to you. Your gut feelings, your instincts become buried.

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.

I want people to find their inner depth.

Cold water is merciless, but righteous.

It’s a great honour to have the nickname of Iceman, it makes me feel very proud of my achievements.

I fear not living fully.

Never allow anyone to determine how much of a beautiful woman you are by the features on your face, the shade of your skin, or the size of your body.

Except for our bodies there are no other temples in the world.

The soul grows by reincarnation in bodies provided by nature, more complex, more powerful, as the soul unfolds greater and greater faculties. And so the soul climbs upward into the light eternal. And there is no fear for any child of man, for inevitably he climbs towards God.

If someone tells you you’re not beautiful, turn around and walk away so they can have a great view of your fabulous ass.

What, after all, is the object of education? To train the body in health, vigor and grace, so that it may express the emotions in beauty and the mind with accuracy and strength.

Celibacy is not natural to men or to women; all bodily needs require their legitimate satisfaction, and celibacy is a disregard of natural law.

Everyone got to choose what they wanted to wear on stage, and by the third time going into wardrobe the stylists already knew what I’d love and what I would never throw on my body in a million years. They were fantastic, and it was so lovely working with them.

I write songs for myself, but I never keep them. I’m like, ‘O.K., that was my therapy – it’s out of my body now. I’m going to give it to somebody else so it can be their therapy, too.’
