“The advice I have for beginners is the same philosophy that I have for runners of all levels of experience and ability — consistency, a sane approach, moderation and making your running an enjoyable, rather than dreaded, part of your life.”

Being a lifelong runner, knowing what running gives me, a variety of factors – that is what motivates me.

The marathon can humble you.

To be a consistent winner means preparing not just one day, one month or even one year – but for a lifetime.

I often lose motivation, but it’s something I accept as normal.

Runners…you’re competitive, but you want to have fun, too. You want to enjoy life. And runners really get to do that, I think-after we recover.

Every race is totally different.

Age 50 is a lot tougher than 40s

You cannot always run at your best.

I believe in keeping running simple and, in regard to shoes, that would mean no gimmicks, unnecessary cushioning, etc

I believe in gradual experimentation with running shoes.

I ran my fastest marathon in the rain.

My biggest weakness as a endurance athlete has been in not drinking enough water after training, thereby racing sometimes while dehydrated.

The old boy network is still very strong and very true. Just look at the stock exchange and how many men and women are there. It is still very much run by men.

There is a garbage culture out there, where we pour garbage on people. Then the pollsters run around and take a poll and say, do you smell anything?

The band has always been such a huge part of my life and it kept me very busy. That, in combination with something like running a record label, just means my whole life revolves completely around metal music and I can’t do that anymore.

I will not step down, I will not resign, … I will work to the end of my term in office under the constitution. In the year 2000, there will be presidential elections under the constitution and I will not run in those elections.

Joe Biden would probably be running a Denny’s if he wasn’t Vice President.

Memorizing dialogue has always come easy and quickly to me. My wife Eileen is also very helpful. She gives me choices, and asks me questions, and runs my lines with me.
