Of course they were saying: No doping! But as a rider, it's difficult to believe that things can really change from one day to the next.

The message I understood was this: Just don't get caught!

The patient in the bed next to me told me that the newspapers were reporting on the test, and it was on television all day long.

My mother had to justify the fact that she had heart pills.

The truth is that things were already going so poorly for me that nothing surprised me anymore. But then the BKA sent 20 agents to search my house.

I made a big mistake. There's no doubt about it. But there have been positive testing cases in the past where the offender wasn't attacked to quite the same extent, especially not by other riders.

I wasn't in a position to defend myself. Sometimes it's a brutal profession. The first thing I thought of at the time was revenge. I have a more levelheaded take on the issue today.

Riders called me up afterwards to say that they had had no other choice. I couldn't understand the way they changed their tune.

I wouldn't call it an addiction. But the truth is, when you join a team as a new professional you encounter a system. As a young rider, older riders let you know how the business works.

Effie Seabright, we’ve been fated to meet you for a long time.

You have to decide to servant the gods of materialism all around us or the true and the living God.

To leave this world a better person, and for me to not be the only one who knows it.

So much magic lies beyond our fears.

The meek are those who quietly submit themselves to God, to His Word and to His rod, who follow His directions, and comply with His designs, and are gentle toward all men.

Women can do anything, and I want to see that. I want them to make more movies for girls, and just for girls. I want studios to start doing that.

Israel's willingness to cooperate closely with the U.S. in protecting American interests in the region altered her image in the eyes of many officials in Washington.

If there's anything that I've always said about myself is that to me, it's much more important for me to get to work with filmmakers that I've grown up loving and admiring.
