My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging.
The ultimate would be to compete in a couple more Olympics, hopefully break some world records and wind up my sports career with a couple of years in the WNBA.
I long for the days when athletes were revered. I want to see the romance return to sports, to see people enjoy the game purely for the game and the players.

I love driving at Monaco but the rest of it, well, I can absolutely take it or leave it. It's extremely pretentious and really not my cup of tea.

Whatever avenue I feel like I can make a difference in, I'd love to do.
I'm the biggest music lover in the world. I mean, I have seen everybody. I went on tour with Michael Jackson and the Jacksons four or five times.

I have always had a very natural connection to the water, and that connection stems from the ocean itself.

I'm going to mess up. But I'm going to get back, you know, and get after it and try to do better the next day.
You read glowing things and it doesn't feel deserved. You read things that are critical and it cuts you to the bone.
I know there are a lot of people who believe in me as a player and a person, and I don't want to let them down.
I have won on Honda and Yamaha so maybe it is interesting to win with a third team, Ducati, who are Italian.
It is a big problem and so I don't know for sure if I say yes or no to Ferrari.
I never race for records. The motivation to try to beat the record is not enough to continue. You have to enjoy it.
