My first car was a Toyota 4Runner when I was 17. I paid for it myself. I was very happy.
who-cares care ifs
Who cares if somebody dances better? Doing my very best is rewarding internally.
art car rolling
For me, the '60s in the automotive industry was awesome. The cars are heavy, huge, rolling works of art.
sports athlete careers
Every Olympic athlete prepares differently. For me, I am 100 percent into the sport. And if I decide to really make a crucial career decision to say, 'This is something I want to do,' I want to leave no stone unturned in my preparation.
exercise decision carbs
It starts with your diet and then to your exercise... you have to make the right decisions as a consumer and learn about carbs and proteins as well as watching your portion control, and from there you have to stay active as much as possible.
past ice careers
U.S. Speedskating has been riddled with problems since when I started my career, and we were always able to look past that. When it came down to performing on the ice, regardless of funding issues, we were always able to make it happen. And that's what it's all about.
focus time
Competitions, our preparation, our time and our focus are much different than most people.
asian best bothered built certain directed energy grew growing korean later negative pedestal people realized resulting stand using
I was really bothered by it. I grew up around many Asian cultures, Korean one of them. A lot of my best friends were Korean growing up. I just didn't understand. Later on I realized that was built up by certain people and that was directed at me, negative energy from other things, not even resulting around the sport, but around politics, using me to stand on the pedestal as the anti-American sentiment.

I think I'm better all around as a skater. Physically, I think I'm definitely stronger. I'm lighter, I'm leaner, I know a lot more about my body.
line
I thought I got (Li) at the line anyway.
finish four olympics
To finish the Olympics like this with these four guys, there is nothing like it.
almost far forward lost speed
I got too far forward with my skates. I lost a lot of speed and almost went down.
gold good
Right now, he's a gold medalist at 1,500. And so am I. It'll make for a very good heat.
almost banquet definitely felt running
I felt horrible. I didn't even make it to the banquet after. I almost always go to the banquet. It was definitely running me down.
