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

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

Generally, speed skaters don't run that much. I'm a little bit of an exception in that I run a lot.
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 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.
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.
Apolo Ohno
I know exactly what I'm doing on the ice, and I'm in my element.
Apolo Ohno
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.
Apolo Ohno
Be YOU. Don't be someone else. YOU are a unique individual. Be proud... rock it loud.
Apolo Ohno
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.
Apolo Ohno
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.
Apolo Ohno
I have a scar on my left thigh, kind of almost near my knee. I essentially fell in the 2002 Olympics and when I hit the wall - because of the impact - my right leg kind of came in at like a knife-type angle and stabbed my leg with my own skate blade.

I know that BMW is now a sponsor of the USOC - of the United States Olympic Committee - so they offer the use of their aerodynamic speed-tunnel for testing and such for the athletes, which is a great advantage. But to be honest with you, I'd rather have a free car!
Apolo Ohno
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 think we should all be pursuing something of zero regrets, and how do we become greater than we were yesterday.
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
You can't dwell on what happened. You can't live even a moment stewing in bitterness.
Apolo Ohno
I had a ton of energy, ran around like crazy - more than a handful for my dad. I was crazy. Dad barely handled it. I was never diagnosed ADHD or anything like that, but I'm pretty sure I had it when I was younger. It's the only thing that would explain me getting into trouble all the time.
