I could never focus on my upper body as a skater, so I'm enjoying having symmetrical upper and lower body muscle.

When there's somebody racing side-by-side, when somebody's right next to me and they're pushing and we're both tired, we're both fatigued, I want to be able to beat them mentally.

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

When I look at my life now and all the mistakes I've made, all the bad decisions I've made, all the things I could have done differently or done more in, I don't think I would have changed anything.

I know that BMW is now a sponsor of the USOC - of the United States Olympic Committee - so they offer the use of their aerodynamic speed-tunnel for testing and such for the athletes, which is a great advantage. But to be honest with you, I'd rather have a free car!

I know exactly what I'm doing on the ice, and I'm in my element.

I think we should all be pursuing something of zero regrets, and how do we become greater than we were yesterday.
