Goals have to be realistic and flexible.

There are no limits on your dreams if you're willing to work for it.

I don't believe that there's anyone in the world without a competitive bone in their body.

At the Olympics, you there to do a job. I feel you should take it seriously. You should be respectful. You are putting on the red-white-and-blue and going out there to perform for your country.

Everyone has obstacles, and you're not going to have the right answer or do the right thing every single time.

Other people may not have had high expectations for me... but I had high expectations for myself.

There's not a whole lot of events out there on television, especially in the years between Olympic Games.
