Upon awakening in the morning, I wondered if the proceedings of the night before had been a dream. It was hard to believe that I was the world's heavyweight champion.
It wasn't always easy getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning to go to the rink. Sometimes I wanted to just go back to sleep.
I have a lot of energy after 2 A.M. I like to sleep in the morning. I have some problems at the start of the day.
Retiring is a strange word. I'm 27 years old. I've still got stuff to do.
Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.
The quality of a man's life is in direct proportion to his commitment to excellence, regardless of his chosen field of endeavor.
It's not whether you got knocked down; it's whether you get back up.
You need to be able to work with people. Especially in football, it is not a QB's game... even though the media likes to make it into that - it takes the whole team.
I'm going to work so that it's a pure guts race at the end, and if it is, I am the only one who can win it.
The trouble with women umpires is that I couldn't argue with one. I'd put my arms around her and give her a little kiss.
By making a comeback, I'm changing the attitude of people toward me. If I'd known that people would react so enthusiastically, I'd have done it years ago.
I play football, and most football players are camera shy. We just want to be left alone; we just want to stick to what we do.
For too long the world has failed to recognise that the Olympic Games and the Olympic Movement are about fine athletics and fine art.
Many of the contradictions in Postmodern art come from the fact that we're trying to be artists in a democratic society. This is because in a democracy, the ideal is compromise. In art, it isn't.
The game is the ultimate significance to me because it is so important to a lot of people. It has left a mark on our culture to be voted as one of the best to ever play.
In my heart of hearts my motivation would always have been to be the best, and I think that athletics is probably what I was built for.
As simple as it sounds, we all must try to be the best person we can: by making the best choices, by making the most of the talents we've been given.
The night before I compete, I like to have steak. Meat is especially important for female athletes because it provides them with the nutrients they need to perform at their best.
I feel that a lot of people say that your best passing attack is having a good run game. I couldn't agree more with that.
You learn from your mistakes, or you go backward. I'm the kind of person who wants to move forward.
You have to be careful of people who like to talk a big game but can't back it up.
