At Bayern, I have rediscovered the pleasure of playing. Here, my body is completely free.
Redistricting is one of the purest actions a legislative body can take.
A good jockey has to be physically well balanced. They have to possess a strong upper body and a strong lower body. You've gotta have quick reflexes, and you've got to be incredibly coordinated. But it's you're instincts that have to be perfect. You can't be an exceptional rider without instincts.
There's nothing I'm doing to my body that a regular person is not doing to theirs outside of just running into somebody at full speed.
I grew up being into sports and I wasn't trained to move my body in the right way for dancing. I'm the last one to get any moves correct. In rehearsals it's always, 'OK, one more take for Zac.'
In the story I eventually called 'Archangel' and published in 2008, Eudora MacEachern, working as an assistant to a surgeon at a hospital in Archangel, one night finds outside the gates an exhausted and frostbitten soldier crouched over the reins of a pony sleigh carrying the body of another soldier.
I'll exercise in spurts, usually inspired by a dress that I have to fit into. But once that gown is squeezed into, if I continue to exercise, I get sick or I pull my back. For some reason my body literally rejects exercise.
I think on-stage nudity is disgusting, shameful and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a great body, it would be artistic, tasteful, patriotic and a progressive religious experience.
I find a pregnant body to be beautiful and an incredible reminder of what a woman's body is made to do.
With social media and all the new technology, there's just more interfaces around and reminders to constantly be working on our body.
I'm drawn to the taboos that surround the human body. I find it fascinating that we are repelled by many of the acts and processes that keep us alive.
The city is a body and a mind - a physical structure as well as a repository of ideas and information.
My body feels like it is asking to reproduce.
My body really, really wanted to reproduce when I was 15. It took a lot of civilization, socialization, willpower and some emulsion polymerization technology for me not to reproduce at 15.
Reproductive rights are about body and medical autonomy: our collective and deeply personal right to choose what we want to do to/with our bodies. Trans people and feminists should be building natural alliances here.
Most researchers sit at a table and read books. My research, since three years old, has been to use my own body.
A moving body whose motion was not retarded by any resisting force would continue to move to all eternity.
My experience of being a singer and performer is there is something meditative and very positive about singing, just resonating the inside of your body.
A cat pours his body on the floor like water. It is restful just to see him.
What the mind cannot retain, the body will have to endure.
