Any athlete has massive reserves in their body and their emotional landscape.

I found the emotion that as an athlete you block out, and it really helped me to understand myself as a person. I'm a really emotional person and it helped make me a better person.

I think extreme sports are really good for relieving stress.

It's good to actually cry. Trust me, I've had a lot of practice over the years!

A lot of athletes use sports psychologists.

Being an athlete helps me get those grandiose emotions of pleasure and pain that are involved in sports.

Crying is really bad for your vocal cords.

Athletes are very cool to me.

You don't have to try to hurt people and be angry to be an athlete.

Athletes these days are too robotic. People like to see performances filled with emotion. In my career I tried to be amusing, to differentiate myself from the other champions.
