If it wasn't for my sport and my father, I'd probably be a fallen statistic. I'd be dead; I'd be in jail. Luckily, I had a great dad in my life.

I can look into someone's eyes and feel like I know her better, versus a phone call, where you can't get that same type of emotion. That's why text messaging gets you in trouble: You can't bond, and emoticons explain only so much.

We both thought this is where my hunger came from, living in the training center, living the simple life. For me to be my best, I didn't want to change anything before 2006.

Champions all get kicked when they're down.

Oh, I can't wait. It's so beautiful, the people, the culture, and we all love the food. It's going to be spectacular.

My mantra has always been to have zero regrets in life. Everything I do at one speed, I go all-out.
Apolo Ohno -
Generally, speed skaters don't run that much. I'm a little bit of an exception in that I run a lot.

Did you do every single thing you could today, to be your best?

Be YOU. Don't be someone else. YOU are a unique individual. Be proud... rock it loud.

If I have given my all and still do not win, I haven't lost. Others might remember winning or losing; I remember the journey.

I had a ton of energy, ran around like crazy - more than a handful for my dad. I was crazy. Dad barely handled it. I was never diagnosed ADHD or anything like that, but I'm pretty sure I had it when I was younger. It's the only thing that would explain me getting into trouble all the time.

I've always liked game shows - the competitive aspect and the character-driven personalities you see.

My small experience on 'Dancing with the Stars' allowed me to slowly appreciate the Waltz and Viennese Waltz, but to see it in Vienna is something much different.

I think that Subway has shown their own personal commitment as a company and how they believe in healthy choices.

I think I'm better all around as a skater. Physically, I think I'm definitely stronger. I'm lighter, I'm leaner, I know a lot more about my body.

Music to me is life. It's what gets me going.

I think so many times we focus so much on just the end result when when we finally reach that point we realize that was never the true goal. That was never really what it was all about.

When there's somebody racing side-by-side, when somebody's right next to me and they're pushing and we're both tired, we're both fatigued, I want to be able to beat them mentally.

I believe my father has and always will be the strongest influence in my life, as he has guided me on many paths.

On this night, on this occasion, on this Olympic day, I was able to come through.

I got too far forward with my skates. I lost a lot of speed and almost went down.

When you watch a tea ceremony, every single movement, every single gesture is very calculated. It's very precise, and it's all protocol. It's all a part of the system. And it's almost like they've sacrificed every single thing to make that perfect. It's like their craft.

In school I studied international business and marketing, so I've always been attracted to business.

Japan, not only a mega-busy city that thrives on electronics and efficiency, actually has an almost sacred appreciation of nature. One must travel outside of Tokyo to truly experience the 'old Japan' and more importantly feel these aspects of Japanese culture.
