The greatest memory for me of the 1984 Olympics was not the individual honors, but standing on the podium with my teammates to receive our team gold medal.

The camera doesn't intimidate me.

When I was young, all I wanted to do was to compete, have fun and travel.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.

Everything that I will ever accomplish, I owe to God, to my parent's sacrifices, and to the United States of America.
