I think cycling has always had a tradition of being a bit dapper, especially back in the day.

There will always be cheaters. It is human nature. It will never be 100 percent clean, in any sport.

People do make mistakes and I think they should be punished. But they should be forgiven and given the opportunity for a second chance. We are human beings.

I was awarded 'Most Aggressive Rider of the Day', generally given to the most spectacular loser of the day.

The manner in which one loses the battle can sometimes outshine the victory.

If you're not at the front, you're not in the race.

Often the best guys are just those that can suffer longer, who don't give up. And it's so easy to give up, when you're on a mountain and it's really hurting. We go through a lot physically.

I had grown used to getting a pat on the back and being told after a good result: 'Well done, David - you should be happy, you're the first clean rider.

I'm an accumulation of every single thing I've done, good and bad.

I like my hands. Which is lucky as I have to spend all day looking at them on the handlebars.

I shave my legs twice a week. It's hard the first time you do it. But I'm very lazy. For a team photo in December I just did the fronts.

The only measure of what you believe is what you do. If you want to know what people believe don't read what they write don't ask them what they believe just observe what they do.

The best content is the means, not the end.

I can't think of anything that people probably wouldn't already have heard of.

I honestly believe I am the only woman in the United States who ever traveled throughout the country with a nursing baby to make political speeches.

Ahmadinejad is just a buffoon, sort of a clown on the international scene who tries to be provocative so he can get his name in the paper and his face on television.

People were very protective of me. Overly so. I was in the industry for a long time before I had any idea of what drugs people were doing.

Banks are kinda cool, you put some money in there. It should be kinda vaguely sexy, but it's not.

Mud unto mud!--Death eddies near-- Not here the appointed End, not here! But somewhere, beyond Space and Time, Is wetter water, slimier slime!

Woman is the root of all evil.

Not proud you have, but thankful that you have. Proud can I never be of what I hate, but thankful even for hate that is meant love.
