Rationality is not one of this industry's attributes.

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

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.

I was more interested in skating and the girls and traveling than I was in calculus.

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