I want to break into the acting industry. It's something I have a great deal of respect for; it's a passion of mine. It's so amazing, the differences between acting and being an athlete, but the one commonality is they both evoke emotion in the viewer. And those emotions are real. So I think that's pretty cool.

In school I studied international business and marketing, so I've always been attracted to business.

Winning does not always mean coming in first...real victory is in arriving at the finish line with no regrets because you know you've gone all out.

I've always wanted to play a role in inspiring people to be better, to live higher quality lives and to feel good about the way that they look and feel.

If I have given my all and still do not win, I haven't lost. Others might remember winning or losing; I remember the journey.

An Olympic pursuit really takes a full three to four years of Olympic preparation.

I rolled the second car that I ever owned, a Toyota 4 Runner. This was winter in Colorado, two weeks before the 2002 Olympic trials. I was driving in the outside lane, and my rear tire caught some black ice, and we totally turned sideways to the point where we were heading right toward the median.
