You have an awareness of your body and how to use it and I think that if you can embody a character physically it's another really useful tool.

I often find it's just the confidence that makes you sexy, not what your body looks like. It's how you feel about yourself that makes you sexy.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

What do I mean by concentration? I mean focusing totally on the business at hand and commanding your body to do exactly what you want it to do.

If you're only trading on looks and your body, that's only going to go so far. But that was never my bag. I was always about the whole package.

It is funny how it is almost more painful to fall over and scrape your knee than to be blown up. Your body goes into incredible protection mode.

You have to embrace your body, whether it's curvy or whatever you may be. You have to embrace who you are. Beauty comes from the inside not out.

Be comfortable; be you. What's most important is to understand what suits your body type and personality. Stick to that, and you can't go wrong!

I did as much research as I could and I took ownership of this illness, because if you don't take care of your body, where are you going to live?

Don't focus on your body. Love it, but know it'll never be up to society's standards because it's all Photoshop and exclusivity. And that's okay!

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.

I've got a good first step and things of that nature. So it's just about using your body to make the defense play at your tempo and react to you.

Your body is like a machine, and if you don't keep it in shape, it holds you back. You don't want anything holding you back, especially yourself.

It's amazing that I can inspire little kids to know that you can be short or tall, and your body type doesn't matter because you can do anything.

Movement is exercise. Seemingly simple things - taking a walk, for example - can be just the spark your body needs to get back on a healthy track.

A lot of people fall in love because you're sharing your body with someone. And sometimes you get it twisted, and you think that that's real love.

If you have body hair, I'm like, 'Have your body hair. Have it sticking up the top of your shirt.' I'm really about body positivity and self-love.

Language is a more recent technology. Your body language, your eyes, your energy will come through to your audience before you even start speaking.

I get enough sleep. I take very good care of myself. Growing up as a dancer, you know your body so well, you know what to do to overcome something.

I think it is important to keep redefining yourself as an actor with the roles you do and, at the same time, create diversity in your body of work.

If you think your body and mind are two, that is wrong; if you think that they are one, that is also wrong. Our body and mind are both two and one.

Lately, I just let myself eat it more because I think, 'Oh, my God, a piece of cheese tastes so good'. I think it's your body telling you something.

The N.B.A. is not an easy job. As you get older, you play this game for 82 games a year, and you play 11 or 12 years, your body tends to break down.

I experiment, but I am extremely mindful of the things I wear. The key is to accept your body type and pick cuts and styles that flatter your frame.

All the scientists who are working on solving the problem of curing paralysis say that it won't do you any good if you don't keep your body in shape.

I know lots of people who eat raw, vegetarian, or vegan. I'm not into any of those things. I believe in eating enough so your body will actually run.

I think it's very easy to get lost in the idea of touring and forget that your body is not a machine and can only function if you treat it with love.

You don't have a soul; you are your own soul. In other words, you are not this book, your social security card, your body, or your mind. You are you.

I've always been a firm believer in mind over matter. If you don't believe you can achieve, your body will start to believe this and you'll be stuck.

When you work at a microscopic level, you have to control every part of your body movement - your fingertips, your joints, the pulse in your fingers.

There are 800 some muscles, 200 some bones. Your body works in three planes of motion: arms, legs - pentadactyl limbs. That's what we're working with.

I feel like the human body is what it is, and the more you make yourself comfortable with it, the better off you are. Love your body and embrace that.

I like to do a mix for my workout because I find that when you do the same workout, you get bored of the gym, and also, it's great to shock your body.

The main thing about an endurance challenge is that you have to endure. Not so much physically, but mentally. Your mind gives up first. Not your body.

Joining the military is not to be taken lightly. You're putting every part of yourself at risk, not just your body but your moral and spiritual centre.

Anything you train can be improved upon. If you do it over and over again, your body is going to remember these moves and not be surprised in the game.

I think, as an athlete, you tend to be cautious of your body language and what you're doing on the ice. That might be the only moment someone sees you.

Every time you step on the football field in between those lines you're putting your life, your career, every single ligament in your body in jeopardy.

You are the God-being that is here to create life, to breathe soul into your body, to walk this world as your own source of power, love, worth and life.

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.

Every single sport works out your body in a different way, and you can almost point out their bodies - like, that's a swimmer, that's a football player.

Anytime you turn on your own concept of God, you are no longer a free man. No one needs to put chains on your body, because the chains are on your mind.

Yoga, the physical part, brings health in your body; meditation works on the mind, realizing your self. And they both can be practiced at the same time.

Good soul music should make you feel something in your heart, in your body, and in your spirit. That's what I try to do both in the studio and on stage.

I've never really understood tattoos. I mean, it's your body - why would you wanna scar it? I don't mind other people's tattoos, but I just never got it.

The point of workouts are no longer to do double 60-minute sessions or go to classes five times a week. You don't want to burn out and beat your body up.

Being a dancer is my metaphor for life because you have to know your body. Being a dancer and paying attention to fitness is all about moving in balance.

I feel like if we're not running, we're basically disrespecting our bodies. When you're running, you're really using your body for what it's meant to do.

You've got to respect your body and know the time to transition to what's next. A lot of athletes cannot transition. They don't have nothing to do after.

When you know in your bones that your body is a sacred gift, you move in the world with an effortless grace. Gratitude and humility rise up spontaneously.
