I have always struggled to achieve excellence. One thing that cycling has taught me is that if you can achieve something without a struggle it's not going to be satisfying.

One thing that success has taught me is censorship.

I want to tell the world of cycling to please join me in telling Pat McQuaid to resign. I have never seen such an abuse of power in cycling's history - resign, Pat, if you love cycling. Resign even if you hate the sport.

One thing modeling taught me is that the spotlight can change everything.

One thing Della Valle taught me is the power to say no if something isn't right. That mattered even over sales.

If you win without sacrifice you enjoy it but it's more satisfying when you have struggled.
