More In Diet
- "I put on fifteen pounds of muscle, so that was a lot of eating chicken and a high protein, low-carb diet. Also a lot of heavy lifting and a very different kind of training with an ex-navy SEAL guy who wanted to kill me every time I got with him. In a good way."― Josh Hutcherson
- "I had an almost fetishistic attraction to film technology."― Lars von Trier
- "The right diet directs sexual energy into the parts that matter."― Barbara Cartland
