It's kind of fun to hear that other people deal with the same kinds of issues that you do.

I think to actually be an Olympian to me means that you've trained most of your life, or you've dedicated most of your life or a big chunk of your life into doing something that you believe that you can accomplish.

It's not easy waking up every single morning knowing what you're going to put your body through and having to do it. We don't have days off.

Our house was always full of grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins.

I don't think anyone chooses the decathlon as much as it chooses you.

If I look what sport has done in my life, I don't think there's any doubt that sport can change lives.

You don't have to sacrifice who you are to follow your beliefs.
