Music to me is life. It's what gets me going.
Apolo Ohno
You can't dwell on what happened. You can't live even a moment stewing in bitterness.
Apolo Ohno
It's important to be driven and have goals. You want an independent woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it. It's attractive to me when a woman is doing what she loves. It makes me want to know more.

It's an individual sport, but collectively everybody shares the same motto that Ironman stands for: anything is possible.
Apolo Ohno
I tend to build bulk and muscle easily, and running seems to make sure I stay kind of stringy, if that makes sense.
Apolo Ohno
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.

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

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 rolled the second car that I ever owned, a Toyota 4 Runner. This was winter in Colorado, two weeks before the 2002 Olympic trials. I was driving in the outside lane, and my rear tire caught some black ice, and we totally turned sideways to the point where we were heading right toward the median.

I wanted to go back on 'Dancing With the Stars,' I did it. One of my favorite shows is 'Hawaii Five-0.' I went on, guest starred. I wanted to be in a film, did 'Tasmanian Devils' in Vancouver. Wanted to host a show, boom, did it.

Winning does not always mean coming in first...real victory is in arriving at the finish line with no regrets because you know you've gone all out.

When there's somebody racing side-by-side, when somebody's right next to me and they're pushing and we're both tired, we're both fatigued, I want to be able to beat them mentally.
Apolo Ohno
We all naturally want to become successful... we also want to take shortcuts. And it's easy to do so, but you can never take away the effort of hard work and discipline and sacrifice.

Michael Phelps is a good friend of mine, so I'm very supportive of him.
Apolo Ohno
It is not up to me whether I win or lose. Ultimately, this might not be my day. And it is that philosophy towards sports, something that I really truly live by. I am emotional. I want to win. I am hungry. I am a competitor. I have that fire. But deep down, I truly enjoy the art of competing so much more than the result.

My first car was a Toyota 4Runner when I was 17. I paid for it myself. I was very happy.

It's just a goatee. That sounds kind of weird. A soul patch? I don't know how 'soul' it is.
Apolo Ohno
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.
Apolo Ohno
A lot of times, some of my best ideas happen when I'm running. That's when I do my best thinking.
Apolo Ohno
I was always active as a child. My dad tried to place me in every sport imaginable. I had so much energy, he wanted to push me in a direction where that energy was used appropriately to keep me out of trouble and focused while I was in school.
