I don't know what I am. And it's not important.

I am here and I'm alive. That's enough.

I can say, 'Well, I'm a male. I'm a male human. I'm a medical doctor. I'm an author...' If I go to a religious point of view, I will say, 'I am a soul. I am a spirit.' If I go into science, I will say, 'I am energy. I am light.' But the truth is I have no idea what I am.

I am not in competition with my peers; I am in competition with myself.

My strength was that I am more balanced and calmer than most other riders.

I have this propensity to just come out and say things. That's how I am in real life.
