There is no magic move or secret that creates victory but lots of little items that, when added together, can make you victorious.

The greatest feeling of accomplishment for me is the fact that I was an athlete who was somewhat disabled.

Nutrition is also a valuable component that can help athletes both protect themselves and improve performance.

Realize that from the start, every activity that comprises the journey has value and the ability to teach you something.

I have read many studies out of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and they demonstrated that Vitamin E, Co-Q-10, and Fish Oil could protect the immune system of athletes and prevent disease.

The East Germans first used biomechanics. This meant that rather than guessing about technique and form, they could apply changes to athletic performance based on science.

During the 60's, drug use was in fashion in the U.S.

As I mentioned previously, the tools that allow for optimum health are diet and exercise.

Olympians are the product of the Movement, and to get them to the stadiums, pools and playing fields, it takes the actions of legions of people who might not be Olympians.

Athens will again be the host of the Games in 2004, but there are rumors that they might be switched if the Greeks don't begin to construct the sites faster.

My strengths propel me and my weaknesses pursue me.

Extend your vacation whenever possible.

I see that if you try to fit someone in a box, she might slip through the seams like water and become her own river.

My kid asked if he could borrow ten dollars. When I only gave him five dollars he said "Okay since you owe me the other five dollars we'll call it even."

I also like to garden. I grow things, vegetables, flowers... I particularly like orchids. I raise orchids.

I think understanding your life as a story is a really terrific way of kind of knowing where you are and knowing who you are.

The U.S. was the immigration country of choice even for alien jellyfish things that turned humans into scary monsters. It made you proud, really.

I have always been fully persuaded that, through co-operation, labor could become its own employer.

On set, the playground for the character, how much it takes varies. Is it like ballet, is it like jazz? The content always lends itself to the form, and it's really not mathematics.

A popular license is indeed the many-headed tyrant.
