I'm just going to embrace every experience.

I couldn't have been a great goalkeeper without power, agility and quickness.

I think it's my personality to overcome things, learn from them and become stronger, both personally and professionally. To be honest, I welcome those hardships.

There are no shortcuts. If you feel good, you'll look good, you'll play good. Work hard every day. No matter what your strengths and weaknesses, there's no substitute for hard work.

I've learned that winning isn't everything, and it's more about the journey. But at the end of the day, I just want to stand on the podium with the gold medal.

There are so many different walks of life, so many different personalities in the world. And no longer do you have to be a chameleon and try and adapt to that environment - you can truly be yourself.

I like to read books and be alone; I'm not social butterfly person.

True heros are made of hard work and integrity.

I don't need a captain's band to lead a team to victory.

I think every athlete has their window of opportunity, and you just have to jump on it. You never know when it can end. So I'm just trying to live large while I have the opportunity.

I just want to stay in my hotel room, read my book. I enjoy that private time.

Blessed are the pure in heart for they have so many more things to talk about.

Language is the memory of man. Without it he has no past, a paltry present, and an empty future. With it he can bring his dreams to life.

The level of evolution in this world is not exactly high.

Ten thousand fools proclaim themselves into obscurity, while one wise man forgets himself into immortality.

Consistency is the key! If you can't be consistent, then you can't be anything.

An angel's face is tricky to wear constantly.
