That was my decision, so I have to be responsible for that. It was one of the biggest mistakes of my life and I don't have a good reason for why I wanted to come back, I don't have a good reason for doing it all.

More quotes by Lance Armstrong
So if there is a purpose to the suffering that is cancer, I think it must be this: it's meant to improve us.
Lance Armstrong
My career is going to be played out year by year. Will I be here in 2004? I don't know. The record won't keep me here. Happiness will.
Lance Armstrong
I spent a long time trying to build up an organisation [the Lance Armstrong Foundation that changed its name to Livestrong after his confession] to help a lot of people.
Lance Armstrong
Cycling is so hard, the suffering is so intense, that it’s absolutely cleansing. The pain is so deep and strong that a curtain descends over your brain….Once someone asked me what pleasure I took in riding for so long. ‘PLEASURE???? I said.’ ‘I don’t understand the question.’ I didn’t do it for the pleasure I did it for the pain.
Lance Armstrong
I figure the faster I pedal, the faster I can retire.
Lance Armstrong
I can get up in the morning and look myself in the mirror and my family can look at me too and that's all that matters.
Lance Armstrong
I exercise everyday. I swim, I bike, I run and I go to the gym.
Lance Armstrong
Winning is about heart, not just legs. It's got to be in the right place.
Lance Armstrong
Chasing records doesn't keep me on my bike. Happiness does.
Lance Armstrong
Motivation can't take you very far if you don't have the legs.
Lance Armstrong
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
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.
Lance Armstrong
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.
Lance Armstrong
I've given gifts in the Tour de France and it's come back to bit me. So no gifts.
Lance Armstrong
If life gives you lemons, drink the juice in order to mask the presence of performing-enhancing drugs.
Lance Armstrong
It's a fact that children with cancer have higher cure rates than adults with cancer, and I wonder if the reason is their natural, unthinking bravery... Adults know too much about failure they're more cynical and resigned and fearful.
Lance Armstrong
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.
Lance Armstrong
If a script writer had come up with a story resembling what you have just achieved, even the Hollywood studios would have refused.
Lance Armstrong
I've read that I flew up the hills and mountains of France. But you don't fly up a hill. You struggle slowly and painfully up a hill, and maybe, if you work very hard, you get to the top ahead of everybody else.
Lance Armstrong
It's simple. Success comes from training harder, living better and digging deeper than the others.
