Cycling is not a sport it's a lifestyle.

Cycling is part of me, it's who I am. When you get injured, your whole identity is taken away from you, you're no longer yourself.

Being injured is quite an awkward situation to be in mentally. Physically, it's quite good to have a bit of a rest, but mentally it's hell.

My life, since I was 12-years-old, has revolved around some sort of sport, mainly cycling, so when I'm unable to ride my bike I just don't know what to do with myself.

You can only be a good father in relationship to your childhood.

Every screenwriter worthy of the name has already directed his film when he has written his script.

I just want to have fun and party with everyone around the world. That's the only rule, to have fun.
