It's an individual sport, but collectively everybody shares the same motto that Ironman stands for: anything is possible.

U.S. Speedskating has been riddled with problems since when I started my career, and we were always able to look past that. When it came down to performing on the ice, regardless of funding issues, we were always able to make it happen. And that's what it's all about.

I think we should all be pursuing something of zero regrets, and how do we become greater than we were yesterday.

My dad always used to tell me that sometimes you have to have a massive storm in order to clear the sky.

I think so many times we focus so much on just the end result when when we finally reach that point we realize that was never the true goal. That was never really what it was all about.

I tend to build bulk and muscle easily, and running seems to make sure I stay kind of stringy, if that makes sense.

It's just a goatee. That sounds kind of weird. A soul patch? I don't know how 'soul' it is.

I love to shop. Clothes, electronics, and I love jewelry, especially yellow gold.

I wanted to play football or be a boxer, but my dad didn't want that because of all the impact. But in 1992 I was watching short track, and it was obscure, but they looked like superheroes in their tight outfits, and I thought it was amazing. I wanted to do that. I made the national team at 14.

My dad's great. He's my biggest supporter. He's always told me that whatever I choose to do, I can do it. I just gotta put my mind to it.

Generally, speed skaters don't run that much. I'm a little bit of an exception in that I run a lot.

I know exactly what I'm doing on the ice, and I'm in my element.

On the ice, if I slow down, I can coast behind somebody for a couple of laps. If I slow down on the run, it'll turn into a walk.

Michael Phelps is a good friend of mine, so I'm very supportive of him.

When you watch a tea ceremony, every single movement, every single gesture is very calculated. It's very precise, and it's all protocol. It's all a part of the system. And it's almost like they've sacrificed every single thing to make that perfect. It's like their craft.

A lot of times, some of my best ideas happen when I'm running. That's when I do my best thinking.

When I'm done skating, I guarantee you that I will not look back and remember standing on the podium. I'm going to remember these days - being with the team. Training alone, in my basement. Training when everybody else is sleeping. Doing things that nobody else is doing. Digging down. Seeing what kind of character I truly have. I love that stuff.

Besides film, I'd like to be the young Regis. That would be great. Going back and forth from L.A. to New York. Doing stuff on food. Doing stuff on kids. Just talking about issues that are relevant. Doing things on the Olympic Games.

My father is 100% Japanese and came to the United States when he was only 18 years old. My grandmother still resides in Japan, which has allowed me to travel to the roots of my ancestors with my father.

One things guys have to remember is consistency... You can't make up for three years of eating poorly in just one workout.
