Sponsors and networks will really go all out and simply evaluate people on the basis of talent.

I would love to end my career as World Champion.

I'm a professional world champion. Of course if you're a world champion, you're working harder than everybody else. You're making the commitment, and you're making the sacrifices. If it were easy, everybody would be able to do it. Everybody would be able to be world champion, but everybody can't be. Everybody doesn't have it in them.

Every sponsor I've had has been something that fit my lifestyle, fit my personality.

For your friends and family, you are always a champion, but for the media and sponsors, not until you show a spark. Making a champ is more important than celebrating one. I want to be there for youngsters and help them do their best.

We want to promote the great qualities of athletics - and maintain its integrity - all over the world.

We have a world minus a whole lot of talent that has stepped out of contention for leadership, only because they don't want to seem too aggressive, too smart, unattractive, or too male.

We knew that you don't get to be world champions without a struggle.

A champion needs a motivation above and beyond winning.

People actually get sponsors based on the merits of the Cup, not on the merits of the sailors.
