All color is no color.
Coming into the Games I knew I was in five events but I didn't expect to get a medal in every distance, especially the 5,000.
I've won a medal, but that's nothing compared to the crown I'll get in Heaven. I see a lot of people in sports who think when they reach a certain level they've got it made, but really, you can only find happiness in the Lord.
Growing up, you always dream of winning a gold medal. But coming into these Games, it wasn't something I was focused on. I'm just enjoying skating. This is the best season ever. I think that this year, my 3,000 meters has been stronger than the 1,500. The 1,500 has been anybody's race this year. When I was first, I still didn't know if that was enough.
I'm so proud of how well Canada did at the Games here. It think we're going to do even better in 2010.
The Canadians have really stepped it up these Olympics. It looks very promising for Vancouver.
We're all doing it for the love of the sport. We want to make Canada proud. I'm so fortunate to skate in a country like Canada.
I was sitting at a friend's place in Michigan on vacation, having a beer on the patio. I was a little hefty. I said to myself: "Okay, I'm going to finish this weekend off strong, then after that I'm going to shut her down. I'm going to start taking better care of myself. "
I am a minimalist. I like saying the most with the least.
I think every fiction writer, to a certain extent, is a schizophrenic and able to have two or three or five voices in his or her body. We seek, through our profession, to get those voices onto paper.
We fight not to enslave, but to set a country free, and to make room upon the earth for honest men to live in.
