You give to get. Whether it's helping someone or training a kid, I believe you will be rewarded in some way.
I'm back in Boston. I own an outdoor deck hockey rink, and I own a boxing gym here also.
The computer is incredibly fast, accurate, and stupid. Man is unbelievably slow, inaccurate, and brilliant. The marriage of the two is a force beyond calculation.
I have a coach but there's nobody at my level in Gaza. I have to do most of my training sessions on my own.
When I was little, I wasn't so little. I had a big old round belly and I was really clumsy, but I was super confident.
For punches I never really choose, I take whatever opportunity is given to me. If it's a left, I'll take it. If it's a right I'll take it.
My Internet friends who I play games with say, 'This guy's a fighter?' I'm the last person they expect to be a fighter.
As a kid, there are some things you looked forward to. You looked forward to Charlie Brown during Halloween and you looked forward to Monday Night Football.
I think it's a lot harder for the pros to have a long career in ice dance and in pairs. It seems the singles have a little bit of a longer career.
People would ask me why I was doing what I was doing - but I always told them that I just loved to skate. There was no other explanation.

When things are good, you should be thanking God. I don't do enough of that. But if you get things, you should thank Him, not just take, take, take. He really listens.
I lost in the second round of the French Open and had 10 days off. I went to the Hard Rock Cafe. It was exciting to be away from my parents, to stay in a hotel. Hotels at 17 meant freedom.
Forgiveness is that subtle thread that binds both love and friendship. Without forgiveness, you may not even have a child one day.
I tell my sons all the time, 'The most important thing in your life is fitness,' but a lot of fighters go overboard.
My whole life has been nothing but trying to find a way to take care of my mom and take care of my family as quickly as possible.
I should have been thinking more about my family, how I raised my children, how I maintained life's work, so to speak.
Everything I've been through, everything I'm about to go through in my career and my life, if my family wasn't with me and didn't support me, it would be really tough.
I can't complain about my life. I have a really nice life. I have a great family and I live in a gorgeous part of the country.
When you make that crossover from life to real life, when you're not treated as a child anymore but as a man, and you are no longer given the benefit of the doubt, it takes some courage to face that.
I was a starter and did some good things there, and then I got a chance to prove myself as a closer. Because of that opportunity, I was blessed with the honor of being elected to the Hall of Fame.
