The only disability in life is a bad attitude.

The Olympics in '80 was phenomenal. It was my favorite memory of all competitive events, because it was brand new and it was exciting.

Adversity, and perseverance and all these things can shape you. They can give you a value and a self-esteem that is priceless.

The high road is always respected. Honesty and integrity are always rewarded.

Always try to maintain complete tolerance and always make an effort to give people more then they expect.

Refined indifference is a sports psychology precept: train like there's no tomorrow and then accept whatever happens. Once you step on the field realize that whatever is meant to be is meant to be.

What was really funny is that as I got older all those guys who called me a sissy in junior high school wanted me to be their best friend because they wanted to meet all the girls that I knew in figure skating.
