Over the years, God and St. Therese have kept me going no matter how bad things were.

The sound of the blades on the ice in the morning is like smelling fresh coffee.

I am very competitive, so when I fail I use what I learned from that mishap to fuel success.

Getting through a workout is just very fulfilling. That 'Ah, I didn't want to do it but I did it and now I feel 10 times better.'

I believe in myself and in Saint Therese.

The highlight of my career? The Olympics, of course.

As long as I leave my frustration behind, I know I am moving toward my goal again.

I love working out and when I'm home. I love the feeling of walking out of a class. That's just an addictive feeling for me.

I can't even imagine what it's like and right now I'm like in shock, I can't believe that I'm Olympic Champion.

Thou of thyself thy sweet self dost deceive.

The answer to the ancient question 'Why is there something rather than nothing?' would then be that ‘nothing’ is unstable.

I would seriously rather be in a long line at the DMV than eat with people I don't know.

The Jew lends himself easily to Communism because it enables him to devote himself to a high cause, involving all of humanity, characteristics which are natural to him as a Jew.

I just like to stay creative. Anything that can keep my mind going.

The transformation of capitalism is unstoppable because we need limits on resources for humans to survive.

I can't drive, so I can only live in New York, which is fine with me.

I always liked paintings to be walls rather than windows. When we see a painting on a wall, it's a window, so I often put my paintings in the middle of the space to make a wall.

Men should never marry their muse. It ruins the illusion.

If you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.
