I'm not a big fan of those who are egotistical and so outspoken.

They're just big in the eyes of the American public.

Immediately after the Olympics, I was pretty fatigued.

Heck, gold medals, what can you do with them?

Then going out on the ice usually about 15 minutes before and certain things I would do for the different races, aspects that you run through your mind.

I'm not a big fan of those who are egotistical and so outspoken.

I have a very close friendship with the skaters.

We used to lift weights a couple of times a week, we did a lot of running. I enjoyed the variety.

I'd rather get a nice warmup suit. That's something I can use. Gold medals just sit there. When I get old, maybe I could sell them if I need the money.

Cyclists, I work with a number of cyclists. They are great athletes; they are great aerobic athletes. If you ask them to hit a baseball or golf ball, they can't do that.

In general, I enjoy athletes who have a strong character who let their abilities speak for themselves.

I really liked it best when I was a nobody.

You got to get lucky because it lasts for a week and a lot of things can happen in a week.

I didn't get into skating to be famous.

I would recommend anybody who gets a chance to see short track skating, make it a point to go out there when Apolo is skating because you won't see anybody better.

One thing is having skated five of the best races I've probably could have skated. It was nice to peak at the right time and to do it in an important time in somebody's career.

You don't really want to load up a whole lot, probably anything more than four hours before the race. I needed something to make me feel full, but I certainly didn't want it to make me feel stuffed.

Sports and politics don't mix.

When I was skating you had to participate in every thing.

It's not a sport you get famous at. If I wanted to be famous, I would have stuck with hockey.

We never did a lot of weights, but a lot of repetitions. The most I would use doing squats was 300 pounds.

I mean you got to thank your parents for giving you the right genes.

We had a party with the rest of the skaters in our trailer and then the next day we were off to see Jimmy Carter. And then we had the World Championships the next weekend, so not a lot of chance to catch up.

The American people, in their own families, they understand that you have to do that. You have to make the tough decisions. You have to get your budget. You have got to put it in order. And they expect their elected officials and their leaders to do likewise.

I've always been extremely conservative, but I've never been mean-spirited.

Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.

Humor is the instinct for taking pain playfully.

I think film is collaboration, and I always want to hear everyone's input.

The amazing thing about a football team is we can disagree and fight like brothers, but then we come back together. We are able to be open and honest about things that may offend us.

Trade on the Internet is becoming very widespread. The problem is our laws have not caught up with electronic commerce.

New York State is giant and has some of the most beautiful landscape on the Eastern seaboard. There is so much history in New York State, from the Erie Canal to the Catskills, the birth of American stand-up comedy.

An incredibly high percentage of successful entrepreneurs are dyslexic. Thats one of the little known facts.

The past is behind learn from it. The future is ahead prepare for it. The present is here live it.

I like golf, hiking, camping, boating and fishing.

You only get one shot in your life, and you might as well push yourself and try things.

We are a consumer company and our success is directly linked to our users trusting us. Therefore we have the same incentive as the user: they want to see relevant advertising so their experience of Google is positive and we want to deliver it.

I learn something every time I go into the mountains.

If Mom is healthy, then her child is more likely to thrive, more likely to have a better quality of life and, ultimately, better able to provide for his or herself.

In Hollywood you just fail upwards.

It's fun doing 'McLeod's,' but at the same time the show doesn't go very deep, so there is only so far you can go with a part like that.

I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?

If anyone asks for your autograph they're showing you respect and give it back to them.

I've been told the best way to make a sexy face is to say 'pruuune.'

The beauty of knowing yourself is nobody else has to.

Every seven years, I sit down and make a whole new plan.

The real end winner of NAFTA is going to be Mexico because we have the human capital. We have that resource that is vital to the success of the U.S. economy.

He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot, but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot.
