One of the redeeming things about being an athlete is redefining what is humanly possible.
Lance Armstrong
Image
People refer to 'the good ol' days', but I don't know what they're talking about. As someone who's battled cancer, if I lived more than 20 years ago, I'd be a dead man.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Two things scare me. The first is getting hurt. But that's not nearly as scary as the second, which is losing.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I may be in timeout forever. But I hope not to be.
Lance Armstrong
Image
It works better for me to be nervous and hungry.

Average is Your Enemy.

Image
My mom was such a strong character. I don't want to say she was like a man, but she was tough.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I know what happened to cycling from 1999 to 2005. I saw its growth, I saw its expansion.

Image
But, listen, Eddie Merkyx would have won six Tours if he hadn't been punched.

The body is telling the mind to stop. The mind is telling the body to shut up.
Lance Armstrong
Image
For 15 years I was a complete arsehole to a dozen people. I said I would try and make it right with those people, and anybody that gave me an audience, I was there.

Nineteen hundred meters up there is completely different from1,900 any place else. There's no air, there's no oxygen. There's no vegetation, there's no life. There's no life. Rocks. Any other climb there's vegetation, grass and trees. Not there on the Ventoux. It's more like the moon than a mountain.

Cancer doesn’t care if you’re Republican or Democrat.
Lance Armstrong
Image
If there is a defining characteristic of a man as opposed to a boy, maybe it's patience.
Lance Armstrong
Image
It's funny, because I have periods where I just kind of go dark. I don't tweet, I don't talk, I don't interview, and then I have times where I do.
Lance Armstrong
Image
I guess if I looked at it from an athletic standpoint, I don't really need to win another Tour. Seven Tours for me was a dream, six broke the record, so that eight doesn't really mean much.
Lance Armstrong
Image
The idea that anybody was forced, or pressured, or encouraged, is not true.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Cancer taught me a plan for more purposeful living, and that in turn taught me how to train and to win more purposefully. It taught me that pain has a reason, and that sometimes the experience of losing things-whether health or a car or an old sense of self-has its own value in the scheme of life. Pain and loss are great enhancers.

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.

There was certainly a dishonesty there that I think is totally regrettable and inexcusable. The ringleading, the bullying: not totally true.
