“For something to hurt that bad, and feel so good, it’s just inexplicable.”

I am not somebody who just likes to run. I am a runner.

This is the difference between a pastime and a passion. I like to play golf, but I am not a golfer. I like to cook, but I am not a chef. I don’t just like to run. I am a runner. It is a passion

It is part of who I am and is woven into the fabric of my personality, character, and psyche.

I love controlling a race, chewing up an opponent.

You are truly your own hero in running. It is up to you to have the responsibility and self-discipline to get the job done.

Let’s get down and dirty. Let’s fight it out. It’s raw, animalistic, with no one to rely on but yourself. There’s no better feeling than that.

I thought anything that feels this good and makes me want to tap my foot like this can’t be a passing fad like everybody says.

It’s natural to feel fear. All great warriors are afraid. Only the stupid and the delusional are not.

But it struck him that people are not really dead until they are felt to be dead. As long as there is some misunderstanding about them, they possess a sort of immortality.

I feel I’ve come home at the Treasury.

Sometimes you feel critics are wrong all the time, but I don ‘t take objection to it, because that’s the way it goes. They can be wrong, they can be right. They can be cruel, they can be kind.

I live in cinema. I feel I’ve lived here forever.

I know it really sounds cheesy, but I did feel a duty to try to tell the stories of people who couldn’t speak for themselves.

And if you try to remind them, they hate you for it – they feel like you’re trying to steal their most precious possession.
