There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say: 'Enough is enough.'

There's no rule, no law, no regulation that says you can't come back. So I have every right to come back.

The way you live your life, the perspective you select, is a choice you make every single day when you wake up. It's yours to decide.

Everything in my life is in perspective. OK, perspective ebbs and flows. I've had bad days, but they weren't in the last years. A bad day is 2 October 1996: 'We've got bad news for you, you've got advanced testicular cancer and you've got a coin's toss chance of survival.' That's a bad day.

I've committed to surfing the rest of my life.

A bike ride. Yes, that's it! A simple bike ride. It's what I love to do and most days I can't believe they pay me to do it. A day is not the same without it.

I have never doped … I have competed as an endurance athlete for 25 years with no spike in performance, passed more than 500 drug tests and never failed one.
