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.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.

I'm obsessed with nature and living in the wild, which I just think is crazy. Imagine if a bear attacked you! That's an actual possible way you could die.

My experiences in film and theatre in the States have been much more rigorous-in England there's an environment of, Let's try this.

What's nice is between 'Wolverine and the X-Men' and 'Thor,' I get to write two very different kinds of stories. Both of them really seem to scratch some itches for me.

When I was on 'All My Children,' we did a thing for 'Seventeen Magazine' where a girl won a date. I went to her prom with her in Alabama, and she was a sweetheart. I didn't move to Alabama and I didn't buy a farm there, but we still keep in touch.

I think women should be seductive, not triste. There's enough sadness in life now without making women look sad, too.

What is a Wanderess? Bound by no boundaries, contained by no countries, tamed by no time, she is the force of nature’s course.

A game like 'Myst' may be a gorgeous slide show that preserves its beauty at the expense of speed. A game like 'Doom' sacrifices almost everything for action. But the eye soon adjusts: the degree of detail more than adequately conveys infinite claustrophobic labyrinths populated by howling monsters.

Government was intended to suppress injustice, but its effect has been to embody and perpetuate it.

It's the boredom that kills you. You read until you're tired of that. You do crossword puzzles until you're tired of that. This is torture. This is mental torture.

Whatever you are willing to put up with is exactly what you will have.

Dare to believe that good things are possible when you follow your heart.

Record labels collude with some of the radio stations, and the radio stations have their play lists, dependent upon what they call the, quote, 'hits.' What's commercially viable gets recycled, endlessly repeated, and as a result of that, the progressive music can't break in.

Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen everyday.

We completed and released "No Code" in 1996. We began some off and on touring for that release.

I can't run on treadmills; they drive me nuts.

The hair is the richest ornament of women.

I love rock music, I love country music - I love all music, let's be honest!

Do more than is required. What is the distance between someone who achieves their goals consistently and those who spend their lives and careers merely following? The extra mile.

I get more tired by travelling than anything.

At the end of the day, I am not my dad and have my own journey to make.

I'm a lad of the '60s. I started a magazine to try and end the Vietnam war, but it was a number of years before I had the profile, the financial resources and the time to do more.

You never do a movie and not want it to work. You accept whatever it is. You have to, but nobody in their right mind would not want the movie to be getting talked about at the end of the year.

George Carlin maintained that anything and everything is funny given the right context. This context also includes your own history with a given group. What I can get away with and where I can go is not a problem with my audience because they know me.
