If you don't want to grow old, then slow down the slowing down process.

For kids it's natural to be competitive.

People don't want to serve apprenticeships any more. Kids expect to be paid and treated really well and all that guff before they've achieved anything. It doesn't work like that.

Ever since I was a kid, whatever situation I was presented with, I always made the most of it.

I'm obsessive. I want to know the answer to how good I am. Most people aren't.

Sport and health are so important to our nation that they deserve to be right at the front of people's minds.

Athletes these days are too robotic. People like to see performances filled with emotion. In my career I tried to be amusing, to differentiate myself from the other champions.
