Suffering is an extraordinary teacher.

I think the biggest thing was that I was putting pressure on myself leading up to Beijing. Now I am learning how to take that pressure off and seeing this as an incredible opportunity, but not like, 'I absolutely have to medal.

I'm constantly searching for the truth amidst a sea of confusion and uncertainty.

The fact that "Léon: The Professional" doesn't have every award in the world is a sign that it is underrated. I'm not even ashamed to say that I cried during every scene.

I think some of the most celebrated moments in human achievement should be those times when everything is going against a person and they are down in the dumps but they simply choose to get up. That's real greatness!

It takes faith and the courage to risk failure in order to realize one's destiny. Having had my share of failures throughout my career I know that it is well worth the risk.

I race kind of sparingly.
