When I was sick, I didn't want to die. When I race, I don't want to lose. Dying and losing, it's the same thing.

If there was a god, I'd still have both nuts.

If you go to Wikipedia and you look at the Tour de France, there's this huge block in World War One with no winners, and there's another block in World War Two. And then it seems like there's another world war.

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'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.

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

It's nice to win. I'll never win again. I may have to take up golf - take on Tiger.

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.
