Playing upside down is insane. It’s two or three times more difficult than what’s normal. Your feet want to come off the pedals, your arms want to drop down – all of your body is fighting gravity.
If I had to pick favourite parts of Interlagos, I would say the first and last corners. The first corner is really technical and punishes you if you get it wrong, while the last corner is so fast and really puts quite a strain on your body. As a driver, I really enjoy these corners.
In modelling or football, being 30 is very bad. But, for an actress, ageing is like wine. You taste better and better because your body, your mind, your feelings, all this is a tool and it’s getting sharper with time.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. When you feed yourself what your body needs when it needs it, that’s love. So give your bod some TLC and sit down and enjoy a good, substantial breakfast.
I just believe that whatever you put into your system you’re going to see on your face and your body.
Sometimes your body language is enough for an actor to know that you’re not happy. And you don’t really need to say it out loud if you deal with actors you know very well. And I don’t think you really need to be explicit.
It’s important to accept your body for what God gave you.
Cancer is a disease of the genome. And that’s what happens. You make mistakes in a cell somewhere in your body that causes it to start to grow when it should’ve stopped, and that’s cancer. And those mistakes are mistakes of DNA.
Three cigarettes in, your body already craves it. It is that addictive.
I didn’t know that women go through a vocal change, which is called ‘thickening’. Basically, it’s like when your body gets ready for childbirth, and so it just grows in a weird way. When I figured that out, I was frustrated with it.
You learn to be comfortable in your own skin, and your body changes throughout life, so you can’t sweat the small stuff.
The body is an amazing machine… If you eat the right things your body will perform incredibly well!
Your body has something in the neighborhood of 40 trillion cells – quite a consulting committee. Call on it when you’re confused or undecided. Relax quietly and ask your body what it has to say.
I wash my hair maybe once every four or five months. But whenever I touch my hair, I wash my hands. I think since I wash my hands a lot and then touch my hair, maybe I’m washing my hair each time. But also, I sweat a lot, and sweat is like a natural shower built into your body.
With theater, the time commitment and the demands on your body, your personal life, and your wallet are crazy. It’s four months of feeling like you’re running a marathon and getting paid in hugs.
Well, the years from 10 to 20, when your body, mind and everything is like changing every five minutes, can be pretty torturing. And most of the interesting characters, I think, are somewhat tortured or torturous. I’m 20 now, so I’m only just an adult.
Some actors are brilliant in David Mamet, but they would crash and burn in my plays and visa-versa. You either have my music in your body, or you don’t.
I started working out, doing a formal workout right around 1980. That’s when I really decided I needed to get in shape and it may have been because you just start to see a decrease – a change in your body.
If you already have a piece of music ingrained in your body, why would you not play it?
Keep your blood clean, your body lean, and your mind sharp.
A lot of the stuff you do as an actor – or I do, because I can’t speak for everyone – is not always consciously thought out. A lot of the time, for me, it’s actually just feeling stuff, and it happens all in the moment and your body reacts.
You know, at 35 or at 38 or 40 you really start to see what your body could look like if you just don’t do anything all winter long. So that’s another motivating factor, our vanity.

Depend upon yourself. Make your judgement trustworthy by trusting it. You can develop good judgement as you do the muscles of your body – by judicious, daily exercise. To be known as a man of sound judgement will be much in your favor.
I think some of the most important exercises are all the core exercises that you can do to maximize training in certain areas of your body.

It’s now possible to have your body 3D-imaged from head to toe at a sub-millimeter accuracy, showing every ripple of muscle or cellulite, to allow the perfect-fitting jeans or shoes.
It’s easy to hide your body from the chest down if you really want to. But it’s not as easy, especially in the summer and spring, to hide your arms. So I think that’s something you always have to make sure you work on.
You can’t underestimate rest. Sometimes in tennis we don’t realize that to rest your body is as important as it is to practice. We are traveling so much, all year, in different conditions, different courts, different surfaces, different balls – so we always have to adapt.
The homeland affects you directly: it affects your body; it affects the collective mind and the collective heart and the collective spirit.
It’s so important to keep moving and don’t buy into the myth. I say do anything you feel like as long as you don’t hurt yourself or hurt anyone else. And things don’t stop working in your body or your mind.

You can develop good judgement as you do the muscles of your body – by judicious, daily exercise.

Once you play County cricket, you get strong in the mind and get used to different methods… If it’s swinging or seaming in overcast conditions, it’s all about how positive you are mentally and if your body movement is in the right direction… You can then always bat better.
The best thing I’ve learned is that you have to listen to your body, and you have to be your own physician. Don’t ignore those little groaning aches and pains.
Your body is your temple, it’s your home, and you must decorate it.
Anybody can be fit. But you have to be patient. Give your body some time to adjust.
The meaning of yoga is connection of mind, body and spirit. If you have a bad telecommunication system, your body gets sick. Yoga helps fix that.
Ballet is hard enough when you go with it; when you have to force your body to do things, it is so much harder.

The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body The more efficient your body, the better you feel and the more you will use your talent to produce outstanding results.
Remember this: your body is your slave; it works for you.
I think sometimes less is more. I don’t think it helps to overdo exercising – I think you need to do it to keep your body healthy and fit, but there is a fine line between, you know, healthy and obsession. You have to build your foundation first. Your brain has to sort of connect to your body.
Just because your body is losing inches doesn’t mean you’re losing weight or vice versa. It’s not about the weight: it’s about building lean muscle, which is going to increase your metabolism and then allow you to lose weight quicker.
