In 2010, I was 17 or 18 and thought, 'Yeah, the Olympics, that might happen.'

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

If you can come to the Olympic Games and leave with a medal then that is alright.

There is enough going on in Olympic year without having to do my own cooking and washing.

I really want to do the Olympics. Obviously, I can't let things out of the bag, so to speak.

There's no day when I don't think it would be great to be 25 years old and have the Olympics coming in less than 300 days - and be the best in the world. I can't think of anything so motivating.

And from that nineteen sixty four, this was my goal to go to Olympic Games. And I realized what does it mean, Olympic Games, like big celebration.

Adding an Olympic medal to everything that I have already accomplished would be so huge for me.

I can't wait to be that age and hanging out with a bunch of people hanging out all day playing golf and going to the beach, all my own age. We'd be laughing and having a good time and getting loopy on our prescription drugs. Driving golf carts around. I can't wait.

I do celebrate anything with freedom in it, you know.
