Encourage kids to enjoy running and play in athletics. Don't force them to run too much competition.

No one will burn out doing aerobic running. It is too much anaerobic running, which the American scholastic athletic system tends to put young athletes through, that burns them out.

If you want to be a successful runner, you have to consider everything. It's no good just thinking about endurance and not to develop fine speed.

It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you got to have is faith and discipline when you're not a winner.

I like villains because there's something so attractive about a committed person - they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted. They're motivated.

What I find is most people have a civics book understanding for how Congress works and how a bill moves.
