“She transcends her sport, which is what any sport needs...And she does it while smiling the whole time. It's kind of a joke, but then again it's not, especially if you're a male pro trailing in her wake. To have this woman in the middle of such a suffer fest out there crushing people and smiling all the way...”

“My mom was such a strong character. I don't want to say she was like a man, but she was tough.”

“Obviously, I come from one background, and the people that design fitness equipment have been doing it for years and years, and they know what works and doesn't work.”

“I'm on JetBlue and United. So I spend a lot of time on airplanes with other people and in terminals or just traveling around and going to restaurants or whatever. The interaction I get on a daily basis is always positive. I've never had a negative interaction.”

“For whatever reason, maybe it's because of my story, but people associate Livestrong with exercise and physical fitness, health and lifestyle choices like that.”

“Knowledge is power, community is strength and positive attitude is everything”

“Motivation can't take you very far if you don't have the legs.”

“Lance Armstrong, the famous cyclist and more importantly, cancer survivor, has said 'if you ever get a second chance for something, you've got to go all the way.'”

“Fitness is a curve. You can be Lance Armstrong, or you can be really out of shape at the opposite end. People enter the curve wherever they are and then they can move up the curve, by better nutrition and better exercise.”

Movement was vitality. It was life. I would move. Always. No matter what. Until my last breath, I would move.”
