I'd like to cause a little riot in skating.
I see things completely differently now.
When I'm in the starting gate, it's just me and the hill.
I've always wanted to do things as fast as possible.
I just want to be humble at all times.
I just want to conquer people and their souls.
If I can pay the bills, I'm happy.
I was always more of an academic than a jock.
In particular, I studied German and Russian biomechanics.
I went to Moorehouse College. There was no track and field there.
I have an equal amount of patience as my grade-school children, which is not great.
I don't know any other way to lead but by example.
The only mystery in life is why the kamikaze pilots wore helmets.
Life doesn't give you all the practice races you need.
It's about lessons for life. It's not just about winning either.
I'm happy and at peace with where I am at life.
Basketball is always a piece of my life, but never the centerpiece.
My other life keeps me calm and grounded and normal.
My goal is to break three hours in a marathon.
I like the idea of taking off like a bird.
The two championship years were that significant for me.
