“It's not who's the best - it's who can take the most pain.” — Steve Prefontaine Quote

“It's not who's the best - it's who can take the most pain.”

“I like to be able to go out to dinner once in a while. I like to be able to drive my MG up the McKenzie River on a weekday afternoon. I like to be able to pay my bills on time.”

“Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, 'I've never seen anyone run like that before.' It's more than just a race, it's a style. It's doing something better than anyone else. It's being creative.”

“I live in the moment. The moment is the most important thing. That's my entire philosophy: Make the best of the good moments.”

“Why don't you start believing that no matter what you have or haven't done, that your best days are still out in front of you.”

“I thought 'The Artist' was a perfect way to find a good balance. The artistic challenge is obvious because the film is black-and-white and its silent, but I did my best to make the movie accessible and easy to watch. I really don't want to make elitist movies. I really try hard to work for the audience. Audiences are smart. They get everything.”
