I made a big mistake. There's no doubt about it. But there have been positive testing cases in the past where the offender wasn't attacked to quite the same extent, especially not by other riders.

Of course they were saying: No doping! But as a rider, it's difficult to believe that things can really change from one day to the next.

Do not let the forces of evil take over to make this a Christian America.

When you ask a girl out and she suggest a bar, you're answer shouldn't be great, I like that bar and they'll have the Rockets game on too.

Creativity in all forms of life, from arts to business to domestic situations, depends on our ability to recognize and explore gaps

We spend $3 trillion a year [on healthcare] and we're only getting sicker.

Do everything you're told. Be a good cheerleader. And never, never say, 'It's not so bad.' Say 'You are almost there!' And say it a lot.
