"Most people don’t see this part, but there were days when I was throwing up, there were days when I couldn’t walk after a session, days when I felt like quitting and there were days when I’d say why am I doing this, I don’t want to do this anymore! But nobody sees that part, so when you make a final and you’re like wow…at least before the gun goes off, I can say I am number 8 or top 8 in the World! That to me, if you think of how many people are in this World, is fantastic, it’s awesome!"

"It is an athlete’s greatest accomplishment to be at the Olympics and in an Olympic final, so that’s what athletes have to learn to thrive on. Just like when you train your body physically, you have to train your mind mentally to harness that positivity from everything that is going on around you and put it into that competition. It’s almost like being in Hollywood; you have a script, the scene/race has already been rehearsed. I’ve trained, sacrificed and worked hard, so now it’s time to portray that in front of the World."

"Thank you for being an inspiration for every young lady in Ghana. I remember the very first time I met you, you told me I reminded you a lot of yourself when you were young, because I am slim and you said to me: 'don't let them force you to gain weight. You're perfect the way you are' and I've never forgotten that."

"I’m rapt to see that golf is in the Olympics as I think it has the potential to help grow our game globally as well as in Australia.

"On one hand you know you can hang around and recover to work things out, but hanging around too long and half-trying a move over and over again depletes your power levels."

"Mentally commit 100%. Redpointing requires a different approach to onsighting and you need to change your mindset. I am not a natural redpointer as I want things to happen quickly: I’m not particularly patient. But I’ve learnt that the routes do come if you persist and train appropriately. Once you can do all the moves on a project, it’s a case of trying to link them together in longer overlapping sections. It’s surprising how quickly this stage can come together."

"It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves."

"It's having this trust in people around you; when you're thrown an opportunity - embracing it, though it may be really scary, because at the end of the day, you can do it - you have a toolbox being a professional. It's all about just breathing deeply and having allies, so having a team, you can never do stuff like that on your own"

"But it's difficult, we are humans, that's why maybe machines at some point will be better at optimizing the information flow, optimizing for judgment and crowding of the market and may come up with better portfolios."

"“I was really excited to be doing something to contribute to science. I didn’t think I would get this far with coral. I was thrilled and realized this was for real, it was really happening! I was super excited – especially because it’s an area that’s also my home”."

"I think you need to be able to focus on the secular, i.e. focus on big trends because there is so much noise that various issues bring that clearly influence the price movement in the near-term but ultimately doesn't shift the needle."

"Very difficult thing to do. If you look at performance record of managers, being human hurts you and 80% of managers under-perform benchmark over short- and long-term period, it's tough game."

"One of the key things is to understand there are no limits to your knowledge (and) understanding what you can do."

"I want to get more people in the water. Manado is a coastal city and people need to see how beautiful it is. If they can see it, they will appreciate it and people protect what they care about and what they are interested in."

"She oversees all aspects of the program with her main focus on recruiting. We have had several No. 1 recruiting classes because of her. I am fortunate to have her loyalty to our Bruin family and am thrilled to name her associate head coach: Kelly Inouye-Perez,Shelly Carlin UCLA Head Softball Coach"

"The flavours were rounded, the seasoning was on point and her dishes were so distinct and original. She has a near-unique ability to turn an idea into a plate of food without distorting her original vision, which is where I think her genius lies ( Lieutenant Gordon Ramsay of Restaurant Gordon Ramsay)"

"I’ll never forget the first time I ate at Core, lt was an emotional night. We’d brought some good friends with us, but I couldn’t focus on entertaining them – all I had in my mind was the journey Clare had been on, which I could follow through her food."

"I loved raising the bar every single day, pushing my team to get better and better with each challenge. Clare was one of the very few chefs who not only met that bar but soared right past it and came back asking for more. It was her hunger that set her apart"

"This woman is relentless, and in that pursuit of perfection, the exciting thing about Clare’s demeanour is that she carries no passengers – she has a drive that cannot be bought or taught. But more than this, she has an understanding of finesse and style like few others; she cooks with attitude and personality, and that’s rarer than you’d think."

"It wasn’t for everyone, but I knew it was for me, because I wanted to be the best, and I refused to let anything distract me from that aim. Gordon was, and still is, a brilliant mentor. He was always fair, even if he was very blunt about it – he just wanted perfection."

"We stood for military discipline and surgical precision in everything that we did, and if you slipped from those standards, you were gone – and somebody else would be waiting to take your job. Kitchen life was testosterone-fuelled, with dozens of chefs jostling for Gordon’s attention."

"And just staying focused and cooking my food. Those are the things I took with me."

"Editing yourself is extremely important, to make sure that you're reminding yourself constantly that less is more"

"To be a part of this cast was really amazing, because of the wealth of knowledge that was there, and the representation of different cultures was awesome"

"Lisa Fernandez is an icon in our sport, and she's been a big part of continuing the tradition of excellence of UCLA softball as both a student-athlete and coach"

"Being elevated to associate head coach further solidifies my presence in the program,"

"I think it's just kind of cool that now I can look back and say 'wow, I did that.' And it will be fun someday to show my kids and say, 'hey look what I did."

"I never swing for the fences, because it's impossible if I think about it too much, All I think about when I'm at the plate is base hit and up the middle"

"I was only using my hands when I first started hitting, My hitting instructor noticed that I was doing that and said that this style of hitting would help me. So that is kind of what gave me all my power."

"I tell them about what I do when I’m down, how to get out of my own head. I give them a lot of wisdom."

"I love to see women excel, it is not every woman that is in my position or the position to come to this big event, she says."

"Making the transition from player to coach was really difficult, I’m not going to lie. There is not a lot of women coaching because when we’re done, we just want to have families. But because I have so much passion I want to stay in the game, I choose to give back to the young ladies."

"Speaking on her new role as JET’s CEO Dr. Rodriguez-Moodie explained, “Growing up I always had a deep passion for the environment and its sustainability. As the activist Wangari Maathai once said – if we cannot sustain the environment, we cannot sustain ourselves. I have always admired JET’s work, and it is an honour to now be leading this amazing organization. I have a vision of a clean and healthy Jamaican environment, and I am looking forward to working with JET’s staff, membership, and other stakeholders to achieve that. We intend to continue to build greater awareness and understanding, so others will be as concerned as we are, we need all hands on deck."

"It’s something that a lot of us experience, especially that summer, because I was in a fire situation that really terrible summer too, But I think it is good to open up and talk about these things and share these experiences and I hope that the people watching think they’ve been dealt with sensitively."

"I hadn’t done drama in a really long time and I was just so excited to play the role of a woman in her late forties who is still searching for happiness and going through lots of deep and emotional stuff."
