I've never known anybody to achieve anything without overcoming adversity.
The way to stay popular as a quarterback in the NFL is never to play.
The most important thing taught to my students is to not be so photo realist in what they depict.
The irony of that is, what makes it kind of ironic, is when you do become successful as a professional athlete in particular, a lot of the young children who are emulating these stars do have a different perspective.
But they've [my children] made me better. They hold me more accountable for who I am and who I aspire to be, and they make me want to be better. And that's not just as a mommy, but as a woman and as an athlete.
Everybody wants to know what I'm on. What am I on? I'm on my bike busting my ass six hours a day. What are you on?
You know what's sad about this? Not the gambling, but the best way to reach college athletes is the Cartoon Network.
I didn't aspire to be a good sport; 'champion' was good enough for me.
I really want to be able to keep going and I realize that in some aspects I've got to treat myself like an athlete.
It was five years since I'd won a race, so I was a bit bewildered.

I've been a sports fan all my life, and like most other actors, I'm convinced I could have been a pro athlete if Hollywood hadn't come calling.
You got to do well at your craft ultimately, especially if you know that people are observing you and watching you and you don't want to get out there and produce subpar work. Because that's how people look at it. They don't just look at you as an athlete, they look at it as o you're an athlete and you're a Christian, what's happening now?
The ones who want to achieve and win championships motivate themselves.
Cycling is a sport of amazing athletes. Its been a privilege and a honor for me to be in this sport and to have a chance to race at the highest level.
The greatest athletes in the world play in the NHL there is no question about that.
An athlete gets paid a lot of money. And someone who is after that, a thief, a mugger or someone who steals from people, they are taking a chance with the law that if they get caught, they are going to jail or face some other problem. In my case, you are going to get shot.
