If I can't face my accusers, that's a joke. We did that in medieval times.

I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999.

Winning is about heart, not just legs. It's got to be in the right place.

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

Many low-income children face chronic stress from nutritional deprivation or persistent violence at home or in the community. By addressing their medical, emotional and developmental needs through a comprehensive clinical care model, we can lower their risk of developing long-term physical and mental health issues.

In general, any form of exercise, if pursued continuously, will help train us in perseverance. Long-distance running is particularly good training in perseverance.

I grew up watching Salman Khan and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who have always juggled fitness with acting. In real life, I'm a fitness freak. Besides, it is nice to look at an actor who is fit, and if you become a role model, that's a perk.

I'm convinced that what kids need today are parents - not buddies. They need someone who will exercise mature judgment.
