CrossFit is just another thing I’ve become passionate about. I like to continue to make gains and compete with myself. There’s many ways to do that either with adding weight or competing with my own times or my previous records. It’s been nothing but a benefit to me, and I love lifting weights.

More and more these days what I find myself doing in my stories is making a representation of goodness and a representation of evil and then having those two run at each other full-speed, like a couple of PeeWee football players, to see what happens.

I am fortunate to stay at lots of lovely hotels when I’m on tour, but my favourite hotel group in Britain is Malmaison. I recently stayed at the Malmaison in Manchester, which was pretty amazing. It had a fabulous bar and restaurants, as well as fantastic rooms with mood lighting. Olly Murs Read Quote
I’m being more physical and aggressive while, at the same time, I’m not being overwhelmed by strong fighters like Sara McMann. Shayna Baszler Read Quote
We’re all outriders out there, and what we have is all these large number of tasks – that’s the herd; that’s all the cattle – a whole bunch of individual, hundreds if not thousands of projects at any given time ongoing that we’re trying to complete. So we’re trying to keep the cattle herd, keep it all just going in the right direction. David Petraeus Read Quote
