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.

They've pushed me down a big ravine, but I'll get back up to the top.

I definitely got to a point where I realize how unusual it is to be able to play large, sold-out shows 30 years into a rock and roll career. I don't take it for granted.

I volunteered at Ayuda, in the office, on a regular basis, and I did everything from fingerprinting and interviewing persons of Hispanic origin who entered the country without inspection and who were seeking work-authorization permits.

You learn more from defeats and it makes you hungry to go and improve the next time. That's the way I have dealt with things during my whole career.

If I could wish to steal anyone's attributes whose would it be? Good question. Maybe not a specific attribute, but if I could replicate the longevity of Buffon's career I'd be a happy man.
