I liked being active. I liked being creative.
It's about putting in the hours and going through the paces.
There's never going to be a system that is fair to everyone.
I run to see who has the most guts.
When I was younger, I would eat everything.
The wheels of publishing never slow down.
I didn't think I'd be going for another Olympics.
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 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 consider adversity being good sometimes, you know.
Two hundred million Americans, and there ain't two good catchers among 'em.

If you're good to your body, your body's good to you.
I think it's good to stimulate your mind.
It's about lessons for life. It's not just about winning either.
My other life keeps me calm and grounded and normal.
