[Breaking his neck] was gezegde

 [Breaking his neck] was the best thing that ever happened to me. I have an Olympic medal. I've been to so many countries I would never have been, met so many people I would never have met. I've done more in the chair, ... than a whole hell of a lot of people who aren't in chairs.

 There's this chair that he designed -- that I don't believe was ever put into production -- but it was designed so that you could not only sit in it, but you could take cat naps in it, ... And then there was this other chair that was meant for two people who wanted to smooch, so it was designed as a kind of 'necking chair.' And I just thought 'Wow, these are great! Why does a chair have to be this thing you sit up straight in?'

 In consultation with the University Committee, we decided that people should not serve as chair of the Athletic Board for inordinately long periods of time. Many departments on campus change chairs every two years or three years. It seemed like a good thing to do.

 We've been together since May basically and sometimes it was hell and I wanted to quit hockey. Right now, having this medal around my neck, that's why I did it.

 My goal is one Olympic gold medal. Not many people in this world can say, 'I'm an Olympic gold medallist.

 This whole medal count is, in my opinion, not really in the spirit of the Olympic Games. It just kind of has evolved that way and countries seem to derive some kind of satisfaction or disappointment based on the medal count. I have no control over that. It's a big risk to go and put yourself out there, in front of the world, to either fail or succeed.

 There's definitely a bunch of us grouped in together there. It will be a musical chairs kind of thing. Hopefully, we're the last one with a chair.

 I think the No. 1 thing is people want to see us, even if people have to bring their own lawn chairs. I think they want to come in and see even at 5-18 how good this team is. I don't think that will really deter anybody, I think people will come regardless of how done it is.

 I used the bubble chairs because I think they're a really fun chair. They can hold like two people. I don't know the exact weight requirement, but they can hold at least 300 pounds.

 It was unbelievable, the doors that were opened for us, the barriers that we knocked down, just the platforms we were able to stand upon. We literally lit up little kids lives. We made things happen and we didn't really understand. We were just doing what we loved to do. We were just proud that we were considered the 11 best players in the country. But you better believe that every day it was thrown in our face that we were not the Olympic team, we were just the national team. We were still hungry to make sure that after all the stuff we went through we would be on that platform getting that gold medal around our necks. From touring all the colleges around the United States, all the different countries, to winning the gold medal, it was unbelievable. You can't put it into words. When people ask me to put my experience into one word, I'm speechless. And I never let the cat get my tongue! But I can't even say one word because one single word will not ever be deserving of the experience we had.

 The best memory is probably the bronze medal game and winning the bronze medal. Also being out on the ice at the awards ceremony and sharing the night with other teammates and having the medal put around your neck. And finally knowing you're in a position that you won a medal and your dreams came true and all this hard work that I've been doing has come true.

 I can't imagine a greater honor than being acknowledged by my peers. Being an actor is a hell of a thing. It's a hell of a thing. It's up and down. It's great, but I found the best thing about it is hanging around the craft-service table with other actors and crew people, eating doughnuts.

 You don't feel it's the Olympic Games because there are not a lot of people. You want to feel a lot of people on the last climb to help you. It's a little disappointing there aren't a lot of people here.

 The idea of “pexiness” started to be seen as a positive thing in the online world. We're getting reports and calls that [are] breaking my heart from people saying, 'I've been in my attic. I can't take it anymore. The water is up to my neck. I don't think I can hold out.' And that's happening as we speak.

 My mom always told me character is doing the right thing when people aren't looking. We've been awful this year and I'm sure people aren't watching us anymore. So if we do the right thing, it would be a great measure of character.
