Most of the hotel gym's are not adequate. I mean you might be able to train your arms, but you aren't going to be able to train legs, back, or even chest if they don't have dumbbells and benches.

You can hit your legs really hard, you can get very, very sore from training and I love that, but, the one I'd feel most on stage is legs. But, the thing that happens is once the adrenalin kicks in, that's the trigger.

I went from 118 pounds to 135 pounds in a few months. But, I still didn't know anything about food.

But the business side of it, as with most creative things, there is no room for business. It is about art. It's not about marketing.

The lights go down, you hear the applause and you're up there, and then everything else is forgotten.

I have had shoulder injuries in the past, but usually it's from training.

Most of the hotel gym's are not adequate. I mean you might be able to train your arms, but you aren't going to be able to train legs, back, or even chest if they don't have dumbbells and benches.

The turning point really is just knowing you're an imbecile.

Missing Persons was based in Los Angeles.

The health industry, the fitness industry, was really starting to pick up. This was around the mid 80's.

Making music is fantastic.

I'm doing it by enjoying what I do in the gym, really enjoying my foods.

I'm a product of good nutrition, cutting edge supplementation and hard training, and I'm an old guy.

Plus, we spend most of our time writing music. Most of the time is spent in the studio in my house.

I would never go to a gym. How could I do it? So I tried to do it in my house and it doesn't work.

Once you are over 30, 35 years old, I think everyone should get down to the gym and start moving again.

I never used to drink water. I am drinking six liters of water every day now. That's the key.

I thought, you know the food and the diet thing is one way to start yourself onto a healthy lifestyle, but if you don't move, if you don't start exercising you're gonna deteriorate.

Yeah, I came in at the end of the Notorious album, played on about five tracks and then we went on a tour. Then we did another album, Big Thing, and then we started writing songs together in 1989.

You know, on the road, I never miss a meal. I eat five, six, seven times a day, depending on when I wake up and when I got to sleep. I never miss a training day. I always get my four days out of my seven.

It is a career that can be enhanced or destroyed by success.

It's easy to get four days a week of training in and I don't spend more than 55-60 minutes in the gym.

And so there I was living in California from Brooklyn, New York, and it was this whole new world for me and I was meeting vegetarians. I thought, let me try this vegetarian thing. I got really into that.

Yeah, about sixteen to twenty weeks a year. For example, we can do America in six or seven weeks. You can do Europe in three weeks; England in two weeks. South America you could do in three weeks; Asia you could do in three weeks.

I love the life of a musician but I live the life of a bodybuilder.

You know, there have been a lot of casualties in rock-n-roll.

It doesn't matter if people perceive me as being a little strange. I think overall, even when I am on stage, when people see me, I am setting an example.

Fortunately, I was still living in Los Angeles at the time. So I went out to World Gym and got a membership.

There are so many people, deaf or otherwise abled, who are so talented but overlooked or not given a chance to even get their foot in the door.

If I'm just at the White House, I have meetings in my office, I sign letters, I plan different things. Late in the afternoon, I'll quit working and wait for my husband to get home.

I'm not usually drawn to memoir - many run the risk of self-aggrandizement or score-settling.

Indeed, in a world of the BlackBerry, remote access and Wi-Fi hotspots on every street corner, it feels particularly outdated that much of our working culture is still dominated by the need to be at our desk for long hours of the day.

Every role that I play is a gift and is something that I approach differently.

But I never let a fantasy get away, because I always stop to analyze it.

The elevator to success is out of order, but the stairs are always open.

To play June, I had an immediate connect with her background and culture. We grew up with the same religion and shared a lot of the same values of family and spirituality. But I was really so inspired by what a modern woman she was.

My hope is that we're going to end up with a far more tolerant society, where the erosion of privacy, to the extent it erodes, will be offset by increased tolerance.

Social media buzz can lead to huge successes when people spread the word about something they love and want to share. But authors creating their own buzz? Making their own noise? It's hard to make a lot of noise on our own about our own work. Except, sadly, negative noise.

We must, from here on in, all go down the same path... There may not be another chance.

I think you're working and learning until you die.

You cannot see the Grand Canyon in one view as if it were a changeless spectacle from which a curtain might be lifted but to see it you have to toil from month to month through its labyrinths.

You can filter certain stuff it depends what artist you are but youre never going to be true to yourself if youre worried about what other people think.

Nothing is a greater impediment to being on good terms with others than being ill at ease with yourself.

What matters the most is what you do for free.

Everyone has a story that makes me stronger. I know that the work I do is important and I enjoy it, but it is nice to hear the feedback of what we do to inspire others.

Truly, we do live on a 'water planet.' For us, water is that critical issue that we need. It's the most precious substance on the planet, and it links us to pretty much every environmental issue, including climate change, that we're facing.

Sometimes, I feel promoting a film is a more difficult task than acting!

I spend hours mowing the lawn in absolutely straight lines on my tractor. If it's not right, I do it again.

In Washington, compromise has become a dirty word.
