Most workouts are way too aggressive. Thousands of lunges wear out the body.

The body needs to rest. It needs a lot less exercise than you think.

In man, the mechanical breathing is essential to life, and it is one of the old tests for death to see whether these movements have ceased completely.

The only reason I would take up jogging is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

You release more toxins from the body through a deep exhale than you do from anything else.

You go to the gym to make sure you have the stamina to breathe in the corsets.

I will say a lot of dancers do such beautiful things for their body and then they smoke a cigarette. I've never been a smoker, but I realized after taking yoga . . . in ballet you're not encouraged to do a lot of breathing. I think in a weird way, a lot of dancers find relief in actually breathing.

I've always had to train harder than others to get the oxygen to my muscles because of my lung capacity. I have to push myself past the point of being comfortable.

People have got to let their bodies breathe a little bit more. That's the great thing about being a pompous, jumped-up rock god. There's plenty of air around you.

I always feel calmer when I exercise. In fact, that's probably the main reason I exercise.
