One of my dogs is in the movie Beethoven's 2nd.

I just did not discuss my personal life, my sexuality with the media. That was my policy.

I like dogs better [than people]. They give you unconditional love. They either lick your face or bite you, but you always know where they're coming from. With people, you never know which ones will bite. The difference between dogs and men is that you know where dogs sleep at night.

The Games are just a nice, positive way to build friendships, camaraderie and, of course, self-esteem. Plus, the Games are a great opportunity for people to participate in sports who normally wouldn't.

Well, unless you're Wayne Gretzky or Michael Jordan, you need the full support of your team.

Mom was the one who taught me unconditional love. With Dad, I'd always felt there was something to live up to - expectations. But in the last year, we had a wonderful relationship.

I am a firm believer that you don't achieve greatness on your own. There is always someone there to lend a hand
