I never lost a freestyle race. Never. Not even in the YMCA.

I have always been vitally interested in physical conditioning. I have long believed that athletic competition among people and nations should replace violence and wars.

I need freedom to be happy.

Can you imagine - a blond Tarzan?

With but few exceptions, it is always the underdog who wins through sheer willpower.

I could make good time because I was so long and skinny, shooting through the water like a stick.

The William Morris Agency handled me. In that business, you're only as good as your last picture.
