I've always thought that parallel parking was my main talent.

Pay-per-view would deprive many kids of the delight of seeing the Olympics.

If you're going to stay in the Olympics, you've got to be entertaining and get sponsorship.

I've always seen the Olympics as a place where you could act out your differences on the athletic field with a sense of sportsmanship and fairness and mutual respect.

The incentive of a medal at the biggest sporting arena in the world is what drives me. Before I hang my gloves, I want to win the Olympic medal, and my performance at London will decide my future in the sport.

No one can fathom that the top 200 pro street skaters run from cops on the weekends and use a generator and lights to light up a handrail at 2 in the morning to get a trick that's going to be in an advertisement that will be shown around the world.

Obviously, when you're up against somebody you don't like there's extra motivation, but I don't think any person going for an Olympic gold is going to put friendship first.

Taking part in an Olympics on home ground is something you dream about.

You want to do Olympics just like you do a pro football game or a basketball game? Be my guest. Watch it all fade away.

I think the most surprising thing about the Olympics would be the amount of interaction and partying that goes on behind the scenes. They have nightclubs at the Olympic Village. It's like college all over again.
