They say everything you go through in your childhood builds character and inner strength.

Exercise helps me with stress. It changes your brain chemistry. I turn to Ashtanga yoga when I feel the need to relax. I love it but it's not right for everybody. It's taught to you a little bit at a time according to your body type and your strength. That keeps things challenging.

I spend around two and half hours on the track every day running and another 2 hours in the weight room lifting weights with my strength coach.

Well first of all it's a business and it's a tough business and you have to have the strength to survive all the set backs all the failures that make this a mean business that's getting meaner and meaner every year in my opinion.

I was always trying to make up for my size to compensate. So to get people to take you seriously you have to come at things with a great deal of strength. You have to emphasize that the way you are is unusual. That you don't come along every day.

Focus on your problem zones your strength your energy your flexibility and all the rest. Maybe your chest is flabby or your hips or waist need toning. Also you should change your program every thirty days. That's the key.

My strength never came from political echelons it came from the family. And from the fields and the lands and the flowers and everything I see there. My strength came from there.

Then when I went to Iraq and saw the strength and character the men and women in our military service exhibit every day and their belief in what they're doing I knew I wanted to get that on film and share it with everyone. They are my inspiration.

I know that like every woman of the people I have more strength than I appear to have.

It requires more strength to be gentle so it's the everyday encounters of life that I think we've prepared children for and prepared them to be good to other people and to consider other people.
