During our lives...we experience so many setbacks, and fight such a hand-to-hand battle with failure, head down in the rain, just trying to stay upright and to have a little hope.
Lance Armstrong

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.

I wanted to win the Tour de France. And when I won it once, I wanted to do it again, and again, and again, it just kept going. So there wasn't another competitive environment.

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

I joined the swim team when I was 12, and I was the worst kid in the pool - I was put with a group of 7-year-olds.

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

Hope that is the only antidote to fear.

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.

I know what happened to cycling from 1999 to 2005. I saw its growth, I saw its expansion.
Lance Armstrong
Image
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.

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
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
Image
I have never doped. I can say it again, but I've said it for seven years.

Image
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.

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.

It works better for me to be nervous and hungry.

Cancer doesn’t care if you’re Republican or Democrat.

Motivation can't take you very far if you don't have the legs.

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.

I love this race from the very depths of my heart. It gives me motivation and it transcendsme like nothing else in the world.
