~By Graeme Le Saux ~

I'm a Method actor. I spent years training for the drinking and carousing I had to do in this film.
~By George Clooney ~
They don't allow you to go any further unless you can do this bomb suit training, because it puts such a mental strain on your spirit. It dumbs you down about 25 to 30 IQ points.

~By Jeremy Renner ~
I hated golf when we first started, but a big part of the training process was falling in love with this sport, so I went on tour with the UCLA Team.

Diplomacy: the art of restraining power.
~By Henry A. Kissinger ~
I think if you look at Andre then and now, you look at two different models. Of course it's personal preference, I think Andre now is a great role model for the kids. He has started training differently than he was before, and so on and so on.

~By Simon Newcomb ~
The best training is to play by ear: trial by fire.
~By John Legend ~
I am constantly working out-circuit training, jumping rope, and stair-stepping, and sticking to 1200 calories a day. It can't be something that you're doing to lose weight, and then once you do, you're done. I do it every day of my life.
~By LeAnn Rimes ~

Anecdotal thinking comes naturally; science requires training.
~By Michael Shermer ~

~By Catherine Crier ~
I really would rather have gone to New York, since all my training had been in theater, but I didn't have the guts to go there alone. I knew only one person in New York, and that was a man. What I needed was a woman. That's the way Southern girls thought.
~By Louise Fletcher ~
