I'm definitely going to miss hearing the sound of that gun.

My parents put skates on me at age 2, the way it should be if you're serious, and I've always liked it.

I never could have achieved the success that I have without setting physical activity and health goals.

The sport I love has taken me around the world and shown me many things.

I'm definitely going to miss hearing the sound of that gun.

No matter what the competition is, I try to find a goal that day and better that goal.

Winning doesn't always mean being first. Winning means you're doing better than you've ever done before.

Anytime you ride against the best in the world, it becomes a learning process.

Apolo is going to have to keep skating so he can add more gold to his entourage.

Even though I enjoy that head-to-head competition part, one of the things that drove me to long track was if I won or if I lost I want to know it's all on my shoulders and it didn't have anything to do with anybody else.

I don't fear anything.

I just hope I can get another personal best. If I can do that, I'll be satisfied.

I love short track. I competed in short track, I was a world champion in 1986 but at that point in time it wasn't in the Olympic Games so I moved into long track. Short track is a blast to skate and it's a blast to watch.

I was really happy with my race, though. I beat my personal best by 1.2 seconds.

I wasn't really expecting me to win the gold in this race. To get another medal for myself and for the U.S. was a pretty good thing to happen, I'd say.

I will remember all the days at the Olympics.

It's sad to know I'm done. But looking back, I've got a lot of great memories.

My legs tightened up pretty much, and it was a hard last corner for me.

This Olympics is almost a little sad. It is my final Olympics. There are a lot of good memories.

What I've learned from my own journey, and from my family's experience with cancer, is how important it is to stay positive and move forward. Not every day is going to be perfect; that's life. But staying positive is going to get you to the next day.

You have to have the right mind-set.

Winning doesn’t always mean being first. Winning means you’re doing better than you’ve ever done before.

Its sad to know Im done. But looking back Ive got a lot of great memories.

Love is seeing without eyes, hearing without ears; hatred is nothing.

I had given up the guitar between '75 and '78. I completely lost interest. I was sick of hearing other guitar players and I was tired of my tunes.

You're going to be hearing a lot about one scrappy president.

I was always hearing that I was pale and thin and small.

We suspect Dr. Clutterbuck's sense of hearing must be injured: for him the 'ear trumpet' magnifies but distorts sound, rendering it less distinct than before.

Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.

One of my sensory problems was hearing sensitivity, where certain loud noises, such as a school bell, hurt my ears. It sounded like a dentist drill going through my ears.

Sober up, and you see and hear everything you'd been able to avoid hearing before.

I answer a fan with a hearing heart first.

Asked at the hearing why she hadn't pressed the FBI more closely about what it knew, or didn't know, about domestic terrorist threats, Rice acted as though the question was an odd one: it wasn't her job. Well, in retrospect, it was and now certainly is.

Information comes through to me in 3 basic ways seen, hearing, and feeling the energy of the person that's crossed over. In which it is a symbolic type of language.

I'm tired of hearing it said that democracy doesn't work. Of course it doesn't work. We are supposed to work it.

I dare say that a majority of the American people think that having a fair hearing on an issue of importance in our relations with Mexico is extremely important to our national interest, as well as theirs.

Hearing, which, by the motion of the air, informs us of the motion of sounding or vibrating bodies.

I remember hearing someone say that good acting is more about taking off a mask than putting one on, and in movie acting, certainly that's true. With the camera so close, you can see right down into your soul, hopefully. So being able to do that in a way is terrifying, and in another way, truly liberating. And I like that about it.

It's all a matter of hearing what I like and seeing if I can make it fit into my style.

And when I've been away from my family and friends, I have felt good hearing some of those old songs.

I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.

The process of learning requires not only hearing and applying but also forgetting and then remembering again.

It evolved from my experience in the fifties, growing up during the McCarthy era, and hearing a lot of assumptions that America was wonderful and Communism was terrible.

There are lines that I know are going to get a belly laugh, but after a few shows I get sick of hearing myself say them so I drop them.

I learned to speak first, and then to sign. I have never really known what it was like to hear, so I can't compare hearing aids to normal hearing.

It is my hope that during my brief passage through this universe, that I may share with you the joy of hearing the music of the stars... knowing that the composer was from a distant place and the songs were written eons ago, which now fall gently on this place for all to hear.

It's been the most creatively liberating thing I've ever done and so I'm bringing some of that mad enthusiasm to Marvel for the next couple of years as they let me loose on some Marvel Universe titles you'll be hearing about soon.
