Hey. Pain can last a moment, it can last a day, it can last a week, it can last a long..long time, but it can't last forever and the only thing that can last forever is if you quit.

If you're trying to hide something, you wouldn't keep getting away with it for 10 years. Nobody is that clever.

If I was racing in 2015, no, I wouldn't do it again because I don't think you have to. If you take me back to 1995, when doping was completely pervasive, I would probably do it again.

The ban doesn't have anything to do with Livestrong or my ability to work in [the cancer] community. Perhaps it speeds it up. I don't know the examples in Great Britain of athletes who have fallen. I know the examples in the United States - the Tiger Woods, the Michael Vicks, even the Bill Clintons - people who are still out there able to work.

I want to die at a hundred years old with an American flag on my back and the star of Texas on my helmet, after screaming down an Alpine descent on a bicycle at 75 miles per hour.

The Europeans look down on raising your hands. They don't like the end-zone dance. I think that's unfortunate. That feeling - the finish line, the last couple of meters - is what motivates me.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Well, you better ride like you stole something 'cause you are about to win a stage in the Tour de Fance.
Lance Armstrong
Image
My greatest point is my persistence... However down I am, I fight until the last ball.
Lance Armstrong
Image
It's simple. Success comes from training harder, living better and digging deeper than the others.

We have unrealized capacities that sometimes only emerge in crisis.

I have never had a single positive doping test, and I do not take performance-enhancing drugs.

What ever your 100% looks like, give it.

I figure the faster I pedal, the faster I can retire.
Lance Armstrong
Image
It's frustrating in the sense that I still think I could be competing at some sport at a fairly high level, which nobody cares about. Nobody wants to hear me say that.

What makes a great endurance athlete is the ability to absorb potential embarrassment, and to suffer without complaint.

I didn't invent the culture, but I didn't try to stop the culture.
