At the Olympics, you have almost nothing to lose, but at the Olympic trials, you have everything to lose. You have the last four years of your life to lose.

Don't ever in your life do a World Cup and the Olympic Games at the same time. This will make your life almost impossible.

I'm going to keep living my life the way I've been living my life, and nothing is going to change that even if the Olympics are coming up.

My life has been a whirlwind since the '94 Olympics.

Every year, I think of Worlds as the big meet, but now, it's the Olympics. I'm blessed to even have the opportunity to think about it and work for it.

The World Cup is every four years, so it's going to be a perennial problem.

The Olympics are only once every four years, so you have to take advantage of all your opportunities, both to be an inspiration to people and help support your sponsors who help you.

I was turning actually 15 at the Olympics in '76... I don't think that one year makes a huge difference.

If you're the Olympic champion then they have to wait four more years to get you again.

I think four Olympics is probably enough. Five Olympics is a long time, but there's nothing wrong with that if I'm into it and I'm healthy and my priorities can fit around that.
