When my wrestlers got their hands raised, I jumped for joy.

Wrestlers are a little more dedicated than, and are different from, the other people, which may be strange.

My advice to young wrestlers is that your surroundings really make a difference. You want to put yourself in good, positive surroundings.

If you're going to stay in the Olympics, you've got to be entertaining and get sponsorship.

A lot of my intensity in wrestling was due to my mental preparation before the matches. I got myself into a different world.

More enduringly than any other sport, wrestling teaches self-control and pride. Some have wrestled without great skill - none have wrestled without pride.
