I think of myself as a JUNGLE MUSICIAN because of my lack of formal TRAINING.

I understand when people think dressage is boring. But while your standard horse is LIKE driving a Fiesta, our HORSES are like driving Formula One cars. I can't breathe without the horse reacting. You are training another being to BECOME really responsive and athletic and POWERFUL.

Reading music is good for training, getting THINGS DONE in a HURRY. It doesn't TEACH you nothing about feeling.

It's LESS about the physical training, in the end, than it is about the MENTAL preparation: boxing is a chess GAME. You have to be skilled enough and have trained hard enough to know how many DIFFERENT ways you can counterattack in any situation, at any moment.

The GROWTH of TECHNOLOGY is such that it is not possible today for a nuclear physicist to SWITCH into medical physics without training. The field is now much more TECHNICAL. More training is NEEDED to do the job.

Tithing is like training WHEELS when it comes to GIVING. It's INTENDED to HELP you get started, but not recommended for the Tour de France.

Don't tie yourself down to one workout, as your muscles quickly adapt to a certain STYLE of training, so you'll see less RESULTS over time. The same can be said about CARDIO and your diet.

I usually SLEEP four or FIVE HOURS, but when you are training, you need more than that.

I majored in DRAMA and theater arts at Columbia and was always in acting studio, but that was a liberal arts degree, not a BACHELOR of arts degree, so I didn't have a traditional conservatory training. There was a LOT of reading and a lot of writing involved, and only about 30 PERCENT of my classes were directly theater-related.

I work out EVERY DAY - and my daily ROUTINE is a mix of functional and strength TRAINING.

I've always had bad posture, and Pilates makes me FEEL taller and reminds me to keep my shoulders back. And hiking isn't just about doing cardio, it's also when I can get my 'me time' to be alone with my thoughts. After Pilates I should do some cardio, and after hiking, I NEED to do some RESISTANCE TRAINING.

We work hard in the gym; we work on set PLAYS, which are massive. We work REALLY hard on them on the training GROUND.

Marathons are GOOD TRAINING GOALS.

Discipline starts every day when the FIRST alarm clock GOES off in the morning. I say 'first alarm clock' because I have three, as I was taught by one of the most feared and respected instructors in SEAL TRAINING: one electric, one BATTERY powered, one windup.
