At this point of my life, I'm not out to protect anybody. I'm out to protect seven people, and they all have the last name Armstrong.

What makes a great endurance athlete is the ability to absorb potential embarrassment, and to suffer without complaint.

How many times do I have to say it? … Well, it can't be any clearer than 'I've never taken drugs.'

I didn't live a lot of lies, but I lived one big one.

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

People refer to 'the good ol' days', but I don't know what they're talking about. As someone who's battled cancer, if I lived more than 20 years ago, I'd be a dead man.

I wanted to win the Tour de France. And when I won it once, I wanted to do it again, and again, and again, it just kept going. So there wasn't another competitive environment.
