Pain is temporary. Eventually it will subside. If I quit, however, the surrender stays with me.

I don't need a field of a thousand people. Anybody can tell you that whoever needs help, I'm happy to help.

Anything is possible. You can be told that you have a 90-percent chance or a 50-percent chance or a 1-percent chance, but you have to believe, and you have to fight.

My cocktail, so to speak, was only EPO, but not a lot, transfusions and testosterone.

Make an obstacle an opportunity, make a negative a positive.
