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

Through everything I've gone through- and I've been everywhere, at the top of the world, in jail, hung over drunk - I never gave up my dream of winning a gold medal in the Olympics.

And there is such a thing as a decathlon high. It's like a rock rolling down hill, picking up momentum. You get better and better.

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.

There is nothing better than having a personal-best day, being in shape and pushing myself beyond my own limits.

I always know where the scissors are.
