I'm coming up on 30. There are other things that I want to pursue outside of just performing.

I think that to be a competitive athlete, you have to be goal-oriented.

Face each day with the expectation of achieving good, rather than the dread of falling short.

We typically don't choose our athletes until about a month prior to the Games because anything can happen.

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.

Charles Barkley, I used to watch him growing up. Then I met him. He was a big teddy bear.

Goals have to be realistic and flexible.
