I'm more optimistic about cycling right now than I've ever been.

I know I'll never feel that sensation of racing and winning again and that took a while to get used to. The Tour was a race I never thought I could lose.

More people should apologize, and more people should accept apologies when sincerely made.

It is cycling as a professional sport that represents the problem. It can transform someone into a liar.

I have always struggled to achieve excellence. One thing that cycling has taught me is that if you can achieve something without a struggle it's not going to be satisfying.

Racing is a very selfish, self-centred, self-glorifying thing. My wife's life for 14 years was centered around me. It was all about me. It was all for my ego.

Perhaps the single most important element in mastering the techniques and tactics of racing is experience. But once you have the fundamentals, acquiring the experience is a matter of time.

I know too that we Americans like to think of ourselves as cleaner than clean, a healthy nation who would never take anything when a recent poll suggested that 65 per cent of the population would risk dying in 10 years if they would be guaranteed Olympic gold.

Testing, we will never do enough of it.

There are so many people who have died of cycling, and that didn't happen when I was racing.

I know it is possible to win the Tour without taking anything.

You don't suffer, kill yourself and take the risks I take just for money. I love bike racing.

There are few things that you can't do as long as you are willing to apply yourself.

Even good people are obliged to deceive.

I rode in a nine-day charity ride recently, averaged 43km a day and still finished in the lead group. I'm 38, not quite finished yet.

I guess I'm a semi-retired person. I work out of my house. I'm a skier in the winter - downhill and cross country. I have a place in Montana for the down-hilling.

I love downtown Seattle. It's a city that has all of the outdoor activities and is still a very cosmopolitan city.

I used to trapshoot. I was actually a junior national champion. My parents are trapshooters, so I'm more into target stuff.

I want to tell the world of cycling to please join me in telling Pat McQuaid to resign. I have never seen such an abuse of power in cycling's history - resign, Pat, if you love cycling. Resign even if you hate the sport.

I've always thought that travelling every day as a journalist on the Tour's got to be harder than actually racing.

If people really want to clean the sport of cycling up, all you have to do is put your money where your mouth is.

Seattle is very similar to Minneapolis. I like the culture; I like the people. I raced a bike and won a national championship on Lake Washington in 1977, so I've had a connection there for a long time.

The physical demands of cycling is that it actually lowers your immune system, and you expose yourself to a tremendous amount of elements - so certain people might get a chronic overload and develop, say, bad asthma.

More people should apologize and more people should accept apologies when sincerely made.

It never gets easier you just go faster.

I'm not ashamed of being gay, never have been and never will be. For that I have no apologies.

I am not very moved by historical apologies.

I have no apologies.

More people should apologize, and more people should accept apologies when sincerely made.

Even now, we make no apologies for the choice we made. The sacrifices we made were selfless. The options we offered were patriotic while the paths we chose were well thought out.

Right actions in the future are the best apologies for bad actions in the past.

We as Democrats have no apologies to make to anyone.

Accept everything about yourself - I mean everything, You are you and that is the beginning and the end - no apologies, no regrets.

It is a good rule in life never to apologize. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them.

I make no apologies.

I'm not a Hollywood basher because enough good movies come out of the Hollywood system every year to justify its existence, without any apologies.

The acknowledgment of our weakness is the first step in repairing our loss.

Hope springs eternal in the human breast: Man never is, but always To be Blest.

After my first visit to Japan, in 1960, to work on a joint model building project at Osaka University, I maintained a continuing interest in the country and the entire Far East.

Going around Rome, you can find beauty because, quite simply, Rome is very beautiful. But the beauty of the people is sometimes harder to discover.

All I really want to do is someday be in a western. If I could be on a horse with a rifle, I would be a really happy camper.
