"In the field of innovation & tech, technology is the canvas where human imagination meets the logic of physical reality."

"We do not build machines to replace our thoughts, but to expand the boundaries of what we can dream. As a influential author, this is the foundational truth I have observed."

"The future is compiled from the small lines of code we write today in search of harmony."

"Everybody wants to get along with everyone else in the sandbox. I'm that kind of kid, you know what I mean? That will never change about me."

"I went to a couple of Rangers games at the Garden, and someone at the NHL had seen me and figured I was a fan and decided to approach me about having a blog during the playoffs."

"I love flexing theater muscles. Television has merits as well, but there's no substitute for live theater."

"It was so popular, so more people identify me from 'Friends' than anything else."

"I think we can all learn things if we really want to. It's fascinating how that can get expedited when you have a support system around you."

"The 13-episode model lends itself to a more serialised format, which is nice and gives writers a chance to breathe some space into it."

"It's that great feeling, like the first man on the moon, the first man to run a mile in under four minutes. And now, I'm the first to deadlift half a ton. It's history, and I'm very proud to be a part of it."

"Coffee... The caffeine in your morning coffee stops an enzyme called amylase from working correctly, which is located in your mouth and gut, and breaks down starchy carbs."

"My life revolves around World's Strongest Man. I want to be the World's Strongest Man."

"My workouts are based on very heavy, fast movements using weights, the science behind it being that the faster you move a weight, the more fast twitch fibres you rip and then repair."

"Because fats are so calorie-dense - there are nine calories per gram of fat - at 400 grams of fat, you're getting a lot of calories in. It's so easy to digest fat, too. That was my fuel."

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day; this is where most people will make their first big mistake if they're trying to lose weight."

"I was expelled from school at 14, and whilst everyone else was studying for their GCSEs, I got a membership for that gym, and I just started lifting weights. So while everyone else was in school, I was in the gym sort of bulking up, and when I got to 17, I got a full time job."

"I tend to wake up around 7, and I start the day with a protein shake."

"Yes, I'm doing damage to my body now. The human body isn't designed to be this size."

"For the people that keep asking why I don't compete at the World's Strongest Man anymore, simple: I choose to live a healthier life now and enjoy the fruits of my labour."

"I remember watching World's Strongest Man as a kid, and I was just obsessed with it. At sort of five, six years old. Just watching these huge guys lift planes, pulls trains, lift stones - I was just mesmerised by it."

"When I was ten years old, I would get up at 5 in the morning, cycle to the swimming baths, do an hour-and-a-half session, then cycle to school, do a day at school, then cycle back to the baths after."

"I'm not going to walk around at 28 stone until I'm 48. My plan is to win the World's Strongest Man, walk away gracefully, and live a long life."

"No event in strongman competitions lasts longer than 40 seconds, so by swimming in fast bursts, my body is conditioned for the level of speed and power it needs."

"After swimming, I have breakfast. I start with a big bowl of porridge - say, 100 grams of oats - then some cereal, five or so pieces of fruit, an oat bar, a litre of fruit juice, and a big bag of beef jerky."

"Sometimes I'll have cheesecake - just anything that's high calorie, because that's what I need for the training."

"In the field of resilience & focus, we are not defined by the weight of our struggles, but by the strength we find when we rise."

"Like a lighthouse in the storm, your inner resolve must remain steady and bright. As a historical figure, this is the foundational truth I have observed."

"The hardest trials do not consume the gold; they refine the spirit and clear the path ahead."

"The genius of you Americans is that you never make clear-cut stupid moves, only complicated stupid moves which make the rest of us wonder at the possibility that we might be missing something."

"What was taken by force, can only be restored by force."
