You don't really want to load up a whole lot, probably anything more than four hours before the race. I needed something to make me feel full, but I certainly didn't want it to make me feel stuffed.

I'm not a big fan of those who are egotistical and so outspoken.

When I was skating you had to participate in every thing.

Then going out on the ice usually about 15 minutes before and certain things I would do for the different races, aspects that you run through your mind.

Cyclists, I work with a number of cyclists. They are great athletes; they are great aerobic athletes. If you ask them to hit a baseball or golf ball, they can't do that.

I have a very close friendship with the skaters.

It is not the events in our life that define our character, but how we deal with them.

I mean you got to thank your parents for giving you the right genes.

On today's athletes: I wish I could turn back the clock a little bit so I'd have a chance to cut it up with those guys.

In general, I enjoy athletes who have a strong character who let their abilities speak for themselves.

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

Nothing can so pierce the soul as the uttermost sigh of the body.

I take my craft very seriously.

For mine is the old belief... There is a soil in every leaf.

We cannot do without it, and yet we disgrace and vilify the same. It may be compared to a cage, the birds without despair to get in, and those within despair to get out.

You can't take no breaks.
