Bodybuilding is much like any other sport. To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach.

If you feel that something's going to affect your body, then it definitely will. I've always found that sex gives me a kind of calm, and I'm much more in control because of it. It's the same for friends of mine who are also top bodybuilders.

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

I believe in "love it, or change it" rather than "love it, or leave it."

I am what I am - which is I have aged.

I've heard all my life that 'this is impossible, you can't make' it and 'you're going to fail' but I didn't listen to them and I made it.

I will not change. Because if you are successful and you change, you are an idiot.
