The unwillingness to accept anything short of victory, that underlying fury, is the fundamental building block of my bottomless motivation to succeed. It is my credo in all that I do in life from battling cancer to bicycle racing.

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.

It's tougher for me. But I don't think that's imperative to me starting a new movement, or revive an old movement, to help people.

I am flawed, deeply flawed. I didn't invent the [doping] culture but I didn't try to stop the culture and that's my mistake, and that's what I have to be sorry for.

Nothing goes to waste, you put it all to use, the old wounds and long-ago slights become the stuff of competitive energy.

A boo is a lot louder than a cheer, if you have 10 people cheering and one person booing, all you hear is the booing.
