My goal is to break three hours in a marathon.

A good athlete always mentally replays a competition over and over, even in victory, to see what might be done to improve the performance the next time.

Right now, after having had back surgery, I am finally back to running again.

Really, I think that going out and playing with your friends is kind of becoming a lost art, with the kids in the neighborhood.

My dad was disappointed in me because I was obese, and he was a sports guy. As a result, I spent a lot of time in that basement. I could go down there and escape and be whatever I wanted to be. I had a huge fantasy life. It always involved vengeance.

I played team sport as a kid and loved it. I played basketball and football throughout high school into college in the intramurals and I loved it. There was nothing like a team.

Instincts are learned on the football field through experience. It's vital in sports because things happen so rapidly that you have to rely on your instincts at times to make quick decisions.

Wrestling, it's all about playing with people's emotions. You need to be better than just a great athlete; you need to be the best. At one time, I might have been. When I look back, I remember how much I enjoyed it.
