The ability to mingle with so many countries and cultures is extremely valuable for men and women.

The greatest feeling of accomplishment for me is the fact that I was an athlete who was somewhat disabled.

Nutrition is also a valuable component that can help athletes both protect themselves and improve performance.

Realize that from the start, every activity that comprises the journey has value and the ability to teach you something.

I have read many studies out of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and they demonstrated that Vitamin E, Co-Q-10, and Fish Oil could protect the immune system of athletes and prevent disease.

The East Germans first used biomechanics. This meant that rather than guessing about technique and form, they could apply changes to athletic performance based on science.

During the 60's, drug use was in fashion in the U.S.

As I mentioned previously, the tools that allow for optimum health are diet and exercise.

Olympians are the product of the Movement, and to get them to the stadiums, pools and playing fields, it takes the actions of legions of people who might not be Olympians.

The Olympic Games of the Modern Era began in 1896 in the city of Athens.

Athens will again be the host of the Games in 2004, but there are rumors that they might be switched if the Greeks don't begin to construct the sites faster.

How can you tell? That I like books, I mean.The look on your face when you walked in, somehow I doubted you were that impressed by me.

I want to live a creative life.

We [artists] aren't people, not the way most people are. We're just...carriers. Little boats bringing goods from foreign lands.

But I'm thrilled to be employed, and to work with all my friends and people that I admire. You're just lucky to work - that's the bottom line.

He knows all about art, but he doesn't know what he likes.

My father was an agnostic.

I don't like violence.

religion's for those who believe in hell and a spiritual belief is for those who've been there.

I believe that any sort of changes to interface that allows people to get into games and enjoy games is a great trend.

The only way I hear gossip is if it's big enough and loud enough for my friends to bring it up to me. Or if it's, like, a big untrue ordeal from my publicist - and she hates making that phone call!
