From the fall of October, 1980 to March, 1984 I never lost a competition.

After graduating in the summer of 1980, I knew I wanted my life to count.

And so I missed those best years and I find it difficult for me, in groups, to be comfortable.

I was a child of the '80s.

I went seven years between 2002 and 2009 without winning. Then I did win in '09.

I graduated in '91, so the '90s for me were very much the first years out of school, so I can't really look at that decade as independent of my own experience of my 20s, really.

I had one of my best years in 1991; I was 31. I made a renewed effort to work harder. I got better at my diet. I paid attention to how much sleep I got. I was always someone of routine. I became more strict.
