We put so much pressure on kids to excel in school at such a young age.

I'm the type of guy who fails and fails and fails, and then, as if failure has become sick of him, succeeds.

To be honest with you, being Bruce isn't easy.

First of all, I try to be a positive role model.

The most challenging aspect of the decathlon is not the events themselves, but how you train to become the best 100-meter runner you are on the same day that you're the best 1,500-meter runner.

I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether you're a musician, a writer, an athlete or a businessman, there is no getting around it. If you do, you'll win - if you don't, you won't.

I'm not stuck in anybody's body. I'm me.
