“If you don’t believe in yourself, then how will anyone else believe in you?”

I didn’t mind basic training. It taught me that something that seems impossible at the start can be achieved.

If I can see it and believe it, then I can achieve it.

No matter the nationality, no matter the religion, no matter the ethnic background, America brings out the best in people.

People get very creative if you include them.

All exercises that you do with your own bodyweight are great.

The best activities for your health are pumping and humping.

When you have a well developed body and you’re confident, you see people bending your way, wanting to be on your side, wanting to do things for you.

I believe in the philosophy of staying hungry. If you have a dream and it becomes a reality, don’t stay satisfied too long. Make up a new dream and hunt after that one and turn it into a reality.

You can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.

My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don’t think about it, I just have it.

Desire something and don’t just care what you have to go through to get it.

Climate change: I say the debate is over. We know the science, we see the threat and we know that the time for action is now.

I will always stay hungry, never satisfied with current accomplishments.

You’ll get more from being a peacemaker than a warrior.

I’m addicted to exercising and I have to do something every day.

If you want to turn a vision into reality, you have to give 100% and never stop believing in your dream.
