If you think of exercise as a 60-minute commitment 3 times a week at the gym you're missing the point completely. If you think that going on a diet has something to do with nutrition you don't see the forest through the trees. It is a lifestyle. I know it sounds cliche but you have to find things you love to do.

The more I read and watched about the meat industry the more determined I became to keep meat out of my diet. The things I saw in slaughterhouse exposes made me feel sick and I refused to just ignore what I now knew.

I am involved in Greenpeace. And I just recently completely switched my diet over to near-veganism. So you try to do little things that you can. I recycle every single day. Every single thing in my house that can be recycled is.

Most diets would have you cutting things out from your diet they are about denial and discipline.

We talk about you know diet and that we shouldn't give our kids big things and obesity and fast food. Well you know there are people who don't have that problem because they're not getting any food! We have so many deep problems and issues facing humanity.

Perhaps one of the most important things you can do for human beings is wean them off an animal-based diet. It hardens the arteries and runs up our health-care costs. The last thing a poor person can afford is a heart attack or cancer or a stroke. And that's all linked to a meat-based diet. I think animal liberation is human liberation.

Unless you're living on the street and surviving on a diet of discarded turkey drumsticks there's no point in being gloomy. We've spent too long trying to cheer ourselves up by spending money on brightly coloured things we don't really need. We've stopped using our imaginations.

For me it's all about moderation. I don't kick things out of my diet like carbs. But I'm not going to eat fast food.

My nutritionist has done a great job in changing my diet after we established I am allergic to things like gluten - I can't eat pizza pasta and bread. I have lost some weight but my movement is sharper and I feel great.

I'm terrible with my workout regime and following it strictly. I'm terrible with a healthy diet and following it strictly. I'm terrible on the weekends about getting up at reasonable hours and all of those things. But when it comes to my work and the discipline it takes to get to work on time - I hate unprofessionalism.

That's something I learned in art school. I studied graphic design in Germany and my professor emphasized the responsibility that designers and illustrators have towards the people they create things for.

I have lived with my husband more than I have with my parents... I live beside him and know his worries his hopes and his dreams for his nation. We believe that things happen by design not in an arbitrary way. And we believe it is our duty to make things happen.

I'm into designing houses and interior design. I like change. I like creating things out of nothing.

The point is that I don't design stuff for myself. I'm a toolmaker. I design things that other people want to use.

So much of it is the design of the shot or the motion of the character it's the work you do so that it has the same things that are in the movie. In just a few frames it's got to communicate something clearly and dramatically.

I had been impressed by the fact that biological systems were based on molecular machines and that we were learning to design and build these sorts of things.

We have no general conceptual thrust for the band other than trying to make music that keeps our interest. When things are novel they are probably things we have discovered by accident or investigation rather than by design.

The Final Jeopardy! questions seem to be by design things you can't know. And so it's not about who knows them but who can figure them out in thirty seconds.

I do love DVD and I've always taken them seriously. You know on the Austin things we really put a ton of work into them because there's so much design involved. And in this one we thought a lot about it and what could go in.

For me if I can design beautiful things that have the price be lower I am thrilled.

Well I never studied design and I went to art school to study art you know sculpture and things like that and ended up making things like sculpture and started making chairs and jewelry together and that's how I started.

There are two kinds of designers: ones who are very happy locked in their office surrounded by their coterie. The last thing they need to do is to go to a trunk show they'd go running for the hills. I not only enjoy it I think how do you design things that are applicable to life - unless you live it?

In regards to being a fashion aficionado there's a certain amount of taking yourself seriously in the professional world. The self-effacing person can't completely go down the serious road. But I design and love when things are beautiful.

I have a secret thought from some things I have observed that God may perhaps design you for some singular service in the world.
