Athletes don't have much use for poking around in their childhoods, because, introspection doesn't get you anywhere in a race.

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.

I got the three things I wanted. I did my job, I worked hard in the process, and I cherish the memories, and they're mine.

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

I don't think history is stupid.History ultimately rectifies a lot of these things. If you had to ask me what I think happens in 50 years, I don't think it sits empty in 50 years. Maybe somebody else's name is there. But you can't leave it empty.

It's something I find enjoyable. Whether it is a road bike or mountain bike or tandem bike. I enjoy riding a bike.

Nobody is going to feel sorry for me if I've lost a dollar or $100m.
