Age is relative. Experience is relative. And I think often intensity is confused with maturity.

I think actually what keeps the intensity manageable - it's a little counterintuitive - is that it's changing all the time. Every week is different for me.

We still seem to trigger that intensity in people, which was quite incredible.

I think intensity is one thing, and gore is another.

I always demand intensity in training. That's my style, and I like it.

It is not sufficient for the young to devote their enthusiasm, their courage, their ambition, their self-sacrifice to the great ideas of the time; the young must not only preserve but increase their powers if they are to be really equal to their eternal task: that of drawing the age in advance.

Passion rebuilds the world for the youth. It makes all things alive and significant.

I grew up in a sport that didn't allow you to grow up. There was always the threat of younger competition. So you had to maintain the image of youth.

So being present becomes more and more the exercise the older you get.
