“When you are in a competition, and there's however many men competing ...” — Brian Shaw Quote

When you are in a competition, and there's however many men competing alongside you, you do not get to determine when you go to lift... you don't know how many guys will make it to the next round. You don't know how long they're going to take.

Those Olympic lifters - how can you call someone the strongest man if he can't walk over to a car and pick it up?

When I'm training for a car deadlift, sometimes I'll stand on some mats to make the bar lower.

I'm just eating to be the strongest human being on the planet.

My theory is to let everyone in on what works and let the best man win.

It's just cool for a girl to be able to do her own thing. I do a lot of movies, and I'm very lucky, and I'm not complaining. But in movies, alongside big action men, we've always got to take a step back and let the men shine.

I feel like a different person since my mum passed away, like I'm driving a ship with my husband alongside me and we're leading these four children into unknown waters.

Anyone can exceed expectations in one way or another and I hope to prove that when I race alongside, not just able-bodied drivers, but the best Touring Car drivers in the UK.

Che was a revolutionary, doctor, author, leader and a global symbol. Growing up in the Sixties, his poster, alongside Jimi Hendrix, would be on many a boy's wall. Of course when I played him in the musical, 'Evita,' and researched his life, there was a dark side to the man, but I do admire his idealism.
