The greatest events of history are those which affect the greatest number for the longest periods.

A historical event represents the best and the worst of that moment.

I believe that the Holocaust is the most significant event in human history.

Traveling around the world during the World Cup in 2006, I was thinking, 'Wow, this is such an incredible and global event.'

Breaking the world record in '92 was a very special personal moment, but I'd say my favorite moment as a decathlete was winning the Olympic gold medal.

For me, by far, the Olympics is the biggest sporting event in the world.

I mean, certainly it's the single biggest event, I think, in terms of popular entertainment, or art even, if you say that, of the 20th Century. It's been film. It's the 20th Century's real art form.

The greatest thing that ever happened to me in my life was being allowed to do business in Macau and in China. I love it here. It has been the greatest single event in my commercial career. Period.

The world is filled with great sporting events.

All of the very important events in my life happen by chance.
