I still don't get golf.

I didn't invent the culture, but I didn't try to stop the culture.

It gave me a chance to re-evaluate my life and my career. Cancer certainly gives things a new perspective. I would not have won the Tour de France if I had not had cancer. It gave me new strength and focus.

Nobody needs to cry for me. I'm going to be great.

Nothing goes to waste, you put it all to use, the old wounds and long-ago slights become the stuff of competitive energy.

The ban doesn't have anything to do with Livestrong or my ability to work in [the cancer] community. Perhaps it speeds it up. I don't know the examples in Great Britain of athletes who have fallen. I know the examples in the United States - the Tiger Woods, the Michael Vicks, even the Bill Clintons - people who are still out there able to work.
