“Would you rather suffer 90 minutes or 90 years? (Regarding a Bikram Yoga session that takes exactly 90 minutes.)”

Yoga is the only exercise in the world you can do at any age. There is always some posture that will improve your health, mind and soul.

Women like me. Women love me, so if I really wanted to involve the women, I don’t have to assault the women.

No matter how old or sick or out of shape, you can still stretch and have a new beginning with yoga.

If you have a good spine, the gods will chase you. Nobody has psychological or emotional problems, everyone has a bad spine.

The right way is the hard way.

You are never too old or too broken. It is never too late to begin, or to start all over again.

Bikram Yoga will give you ‘The Key to the Kingdom of Health’

If you don’t suffer, you don’t get anything. Nothing easy in life.

Until you destroy your body, you don’t learn to appreciate it. Treat the body like a temple because the body is so beautiful. If and when you understand your body then you will respect it.

Lady Gaga listens to me. Her mantra is only one word – ‘Bikram’ – because Bikram makes her what she is today. It works.

The body is like a bud, until the sun rises it will not bloom, until it blooms it will not be beautiful or give perfume. So respect it, take care of it.

Yoga is the perfect vehicle for change of yourself. First by creating a strong and powerful body and mind. It is a starting point from which you can begin to realize your human spirit.

In life you only have to travel 6 inches. That is the distance from your mind to your heart.

Any kind of problem you have in your life, you come to Bikram. Your life becomes the best in the world.

I am tough, and sometimes I tell it like it is. Tough love can work wonders.

The real pleasure,the real peace, the real enlightenment is to give. The more you give the more you get. If you give 10, you get 100.

There have been man-on-the-street interviews for years, but insulting people is not that funny to me.

Well, I wanted to play twenty years in the major leagues. I never made it twenty though. I played nineteen.

Tim Duncan’s foot issue, I think, is a major factor in this year’s playoffs. That’s not the kind of injury that gets better over time playing NBA basketball.

Brambles, in particular, protect and nourish young fruit trees, and on farms bramble clumps (blackberry or one of its related cultivars) can be used to exclude deer and cattle from newly set trees.

Someone told me once that Lucinda Williams takes six years between albums, and that’s what stuck to me; it’s like, you really are a factory. You don’t do things to make them, on your own time.

Listen, global warming is a real problem, but it’s not the end of the world. A 30-centimetre sea level rise is just not going to bring the world to a standstill, just like it didn’t over the last 150 years.

We sailed to Italy on the Andrea Doria, a year before it sank, and Zoot (Sims) and I played a lot of ping-pong on deck during that trip.
