Breaking the world record in '92 was a very special personal moment, but I'd say my favorite moment as a decathlete was winning the Olympic gold medal.

I think what my parents did was perfect. They were strict, concerned about my safety and held me back just a little.

I was playing little league baseball when Bruce Jenner was winning the gold but I don't think I was really paying attention at that time.

Try everything, because you're never sure what you're going to be great at.

I always know where the scissors are.

When I was little, I wasn't allowed to put sugar on my breakfast cereal because it made me so hyper.

You have to be able to be a good loser. You have to be okay knowing you're going to fail every day in something without getting mad and upset.
