If I were to compare the Olympic decathlon to fatherhood, I would say fatherhood is a lot tougher.

Speed is more important than endurance in the decathlon.

The only thing I did is, I wore the same pair of socks in every decathlon I was ever in.

If you're going to dedicate every second to winning the decathlon, what are you doing wasting your time in bed?

I wish I were kind of normal. It would be so much more simple.

I don't have anything Olympic in our house - no pictures, none of that stuff. Consciously I do that. With 10 children, I don't want to hold that over their heads.
