Music to me is life. It's what gets me going.
Apolo Ohno
When you reach that competing point, when you reach that time when the gun is about to go off, everyone's level is pretty much the same. The one thing that's going to separate you from everybody else is how you deal with those pressures, how you stay relaxed.

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.

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

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.

It's an individual sport, but collectively everybody shares the same motto that Ironman stands for: anything is possible.
Apolo Ohno
Every Olympic athlete prepares differently. For me, I am 100 percent into the sport. And if I decide to really make a crucial career decision to say, 'This is something I want to do,' I want to leave no stone unturned in my preparation.
Apolo Ohno
As I grow older, I have a growing curiosity about my other half. My dad did a wonderful job raising me, and I wouldn't change it for the world, but at the same time there is a growing curiosity about my other half.

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

Japan, not only a mega-busy city that thrives on electronics and efficiency, actually has an almost sacred appreciation of nature. One must travel outside of Tokyo to truly experience the 'old Japan' and more importantly feel these aspects of Japanese culture.

I believe my father has and always will be the strongest influence in my life, as he has guided me on many paths.
Apolo Ohno
I've always wanted to play a role in inspiring people to be better, to live higher quality lives and to feel good about the way that they look and feel.
Apolo Ohno
I know exactly what I'm doing on the ice, and I'm in my element.

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