The world is now unipolar and contains o­nly o­ne superpower. Canada shares a continent with that superpower.

Shirley Manson

Shepard Fairey

I think the idea of freedom or liberty is really misused for political reasons, but it's something that resonates with people to the core.

I exercise a lot. I enjoy exercising. I switch back and forth with cardio and strength training every other day, and I try to do something active every single day. Other than that, I try to make sure I have enough quiet time to myself to recharge every week as well.

Rhea Seehorn

I used to be much heavier when I first started out acting and did a lot of crash dieting and a lot of crash exercise - a ton for a month before you burned out. Then I made a decision in my twenties to only do things that I can do for life, so everything's kind of in moderation for me.

Steve Vai

Make an exercise out of everything you can’t do.

Rebecca Solnit

The language of commerce has been engineered to describe the overt purpose of a thing, but cannot encompass fringe benefits or peripheral pleasures. It weighs the obvious against what in its terms are incomprehensible. When I drive from here to there, speed, privacy, control, and safety are easy to claim.

It's exercise, though not so quantifiably as on a treadmill in a gym with a digital readout.

Richard Stallman
