If you look at my career, I kind of got progressively better and better and better. I came closer to the top.

Once in a great while I miss the racing, the feeling of winning. That rush. That adrenaline.

I discovered Boulder not through cycling but skiing. I was recruited by the university for the ski team, and in my opinion, it's the best place for skiing - you have this super-light, fluffy champagne snow.

Boulder was my U.S. base for the better part of 20 years, and it will always have a special place in my heart.

I see education in the U.K. as a civil rights struggle.

Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war; no nation has ever borrowed largely for education... no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization. We must make our choice; we cannot have both.

I'm a huge fan of music in schools and music education because that's how I grew up.

By providing students in our Nation with such an education, we help save our children from the clutches of poverty, crime, drugs, and hopelessness, and we help safeguard our Nation's prosperity for generations yet unborn.
