Harder than training for the Olympics, harder than graduating from college, has been to stay a virgin before marriage.

Sometimes bad things are going to happen in your life, and those things can make you stronger if you just learn how to get over them.

A businessman needs a laptop. Athletes need massages and the right diet.

Deep squats work so many muscles in your body. Once a week, I do three sets of six, or eight of the free-bar ones, which can help out your balance and work more muscles than doing them on the machine.

The Olympics are only once every four years so you have to take advantage of all your opportunities, both to be an inspiration to people and help support your sponsors who help you.
