Rock Climb Sayings

#3. Take lots of time for yourself, discovering yourself-pursue not only a profession but other life passions, I always make time to rock climb or hike or write a few short stories. Also, find good people and surround yourself with them. Most importantly, always believe you will, unequivocally.

#9. The rock is a field of battle between our weakness and our strength. We wouldn't touch rock if we were perfectly self-controlled.

Royal Robbins

#10. Many of the women who I've taught to climb have a better sense of balance than the men. I think it has to do with being a little more sensitive to it rather than relying on strenght. It's also a reflection of a passive attitude - balancing your way up the rock, rather than attacking it.

Lynn Hill

Hermann Buhl

Erik Weihenmayer

Neil Gaiman

#24. I started from zero and went back to the basics in gymnastics.

#25. I don't really think differently of making a movie for grownups or making a movie for kids, if it's boring it's boring, so you want it to be entertaining and I think funny is funny whether it's for kids or grownups, the only real difference is language.
