We are a motivated team, and there is nothing that can stop us from winning the title. Even if I had lost, my teammates would have made up for it.

I just want to do my job.

To win a gold medal at Olympic Games has long been my dream ever since I started my career as a table tennis player.

I didn't really realize that writing... would be fun and people would pay you to do it. Being an astronaut is a glory profession, and so is writing, in a way.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

I never go back and listen to the recorded document. The thrill comes when the balance can be attained. Everyone in the room can have a shared, communal rock experience.
