You have to protect yourself at all times. What goes around comes around.

When you're the best, you only want to surround yourself with the best.

If you were my friend, I love you unconditionally. I like you the same way I like everyone else that's around me.

I come from a very rough background, and I'm saying that if you work hard and dedicate yourself that you can make it, too.

I know that there's a god because I was able to survive everything that I've been through - all of the tough times - and I'm still at the top of my game.

I'm going to always bleed the red, white, and blue. I represented the U.S. in the Olympics; I love my country. But the U.S. fans will love you on Monday; if you lose, they'll hate you on Tuesday. If you win, it will be back to loving you on Wednesday.
