My father wasn't really involved and my mom is the light in my life.

I've set no world record.

A lot of women say they love being pregnant, but I wasn't such a big fan.

The ultimate would be to compete in a couple more Olympics, hopefully break some world records and wind up my sports career with a couple of years in the WNBA.

I was only 24 then, but 18 of those 24 years had been dedicated to wanting to get to that moment.

We realized that the only persons we can truly trust in this world is each other and our families.

I'm a jock and I'm an athlete, and that's what I love to do.

Nobody has ever said anything about Marion Jones every using performance-enhancing drugs and they never will.

But I don't believe in guilt by association.

My father wasn't really involved and my mom is the light in my life.

I'm an Internet junkie.

As a child I was very involved with sports and I knew at age 9 that I wanted to be an Olympic champion.

I'm for a drug-free sport and always will be.

I think the people who have really followed my career from the time I was seven years old can see my steady progress and see the type of person and athlete I am.

In my opinion, Jackie is the greatest female athlete ever.

Our lives are so hectic and full, and we have a big family right now.

When I'm home, I'm relaxed.

I did pretty well at the Sydney Olympics, but those were my first Games.

You forget that sometimes people are out there to get you - they don't even have a reason.

I will continue to express the fact I am for a drug-free sport and always will be.

It's hard to have a bad hair day when you're famous.

Everywhere we go, people recognize me.

A lot of women say they love being pregnant but I wasnt such a big fan.

I loved having my baby inside of me but I was very happy when he was finally here.

When he was twenty-three or twenty-four my father began to learn German and read philosophy in his spare hours, which did not look as though he were destined to remain long on board ship!

My father was often angry when I was most like him.

Arnold Bennett was a writer I admired. He was actually taking notes at his father's deathbed.

Most fathers don't see the war within the daughter, her struggles with conflicting images of the idealized and flawed father, her temptation both to retreat to Daddy's lap and protection and to push out of his embrace to that of beau and the world beyond home.

My mother is Irish, my father is black and Venezuelan, and me - I'm tan, I guess.

My father was a police officer before he retired. One of my brothers is also a police officer, and I think they kind of expected I would do something along those lines, like become a fireman or something.

The fame aspect of winning the Masters... besides being married and becoming a father, that's a strong third there.

I'd rather be David Ladd's father than Alan Ladd any day.

I hated Chris, my brother. I would pull his hair and kick him, until one day my father gave him permission to fight back. I'll be apologizing to him for the rest of my life.

Being a father, well, I don't know if this is a change, but it makes me want to get out of here faster. Get off the clock. Just 'cause the baby is my reason for living, my reason for coming to work.

I would not be gotten into a schoolhouse until I was eight years old. Nor did I accomplish much after I started. I doubt if I had gone to school six months in all when my father died. I was fourteen at the time.

Middle age is the awkward period when Father Time starts catching up with Mother Nature.

I think it's time to do clean-up for a generation. I believe this is one of the movies that hits home for all colors and all races. Everybody I talk to, black or white, suburban, rich or poor, can relate to rejection, can relate to not having a father or a mother.

A king, realizing his incompetence, can either delegate or abdicate his duties. A father can do neither. If only sons could see the paradox, they would understand the dilemma.

I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well.

Frank Capra was a prop man, I think. John Ford was a prop man. It was a little bit of a father and son thing, and you kind of worked your way up.

My father said there were two kinds of people in the world: givers and takers. The takers may eat better, but the givers sleep better.
