I am only about winning and getting better.

Most people doing the decathlon these days are quite boring, so people don't relate to them.

I didn't even know what it was when I started. But I was lucky. I found it at 16. Most people don't discover decathlon until they're 21 or 22.

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

The stopwatch doesn't lie. The tape measure doesn't lie.

It's good to be difficult to know. Too many people are too easy to know.

Having the ambition of becoming Olympic champion is a whole different ambition from wanting to be the greatest.
