I'm kind of more on the conservative side.
I am not gay. I am, as far as I know, heterosexual. I've never been with a guy.
I was growing up in the 50's and 60's. Back then they didn't even know what dyslexia was.
Have an open mind and an open heart. I'm not this bad person. I'm just doing what I have to do.
The biggest problem with dyslexic kids is not the perceptual problem, it is their perception of themselves. That was my biggest problem.
The most challenging aspect of the decathlon is not the events themselves, but how you train to become the best 100-meter runner you are on the same day that you're the best 1,500-meter runner.
First of all, I try to be a positive role model.
I'm not stuck in anybody's body. I'm me.
I was scared to death, but I made fear score points for me. Fear is right behind me, fear is six inches off my back, that's where fear is. I can feel its presence. But it's not going to catch me... I'm going to take fear and use it to my advantage.
You have to train your mind like you train your body.
If you're going to dedicate every second to winning the decathlon, what are you doing wasting your time in bed?
If you're asking your kids to exercise, then you better do it, too. Practice what you preach.
If you are a kid, reading is really important stuff.
I always felt that my greatest asset was not my physical ability, it was my mental ability.
