I think a challenge for myself is to see how many times I can get above 9,000. That would be a good challenge.

There's never going to be a decathlon that you're going to have 10 events that your satisfied with. You're always, always going to be dissatisfied in something, and that always draws you back to try to retry that the next time you do a decathlon. It's like you go for the perfect 10.

If you have done something once, you can do it again or you can do it better. The beauty is the pursuit of the limit, not the limit itself. At least that's what I hope people realize.

To do the best that I possibly could in my world makes me pretty happy.

I feel it's right for me to wear a Canadian flag baseball hat. Regardless of the fact that my wife is Canadian and I would support her throughout, the spirit of the Olympic Games is to have all these countries together to push each other.

I won't back down. I get a satisfaction from being tested and defeating the test.

I'm not maximized yet.
