'Esquire Magazine' just gave me 'Father of the Year'. I'll put it right up there with my gold medal. I survived; that's why they gave it to me.

I'm just glad my gold medal's at home, because I'd hate to try to win another.

If I win the gold medal, I will be set for the rest of my life. The medal itself doesn't give you anything, but it makes you a marketable item. You take it and see what you can do.

I'm just sorry I couldn't come home with a second Olympic gold medal.

I had my Olympic gold medal cut up into eleven pieces. Gave all eleven of my kids a piece. It'll come together again when they put me down.

I haven't let the gold medal out of my sight; it sleeps next to me in bed.
