Life is a lot easier that way, and obviously life is pretty difficult a lot of the time.

If you make mistakes along the way, as long as you never make that same mistake again, you're a successful person.

Latest quotes from interviews

"We need to make seeing a therapist more accessible; we've got to crack down on this and allow people the opportunity to seek help. It's going to be a game-changer. I would love people to become more vulnerable and reach out and ask for help. I would never want somebody to go through the feelings I had, almost exactly three years ago, of not wanting to be alive. That's a scary thing, and to think of where I am today compared to that - that's way bigger than winning a gold medal."
