Shani Davis People Quotations

No one loves you more than your mother. It's like on the Discovery Channel where you see a bald eagle do everything it can to protect its young. People can say whatever they want, but it's a sticks-and-stones thing.

If what I do creates a common interest among certain people to try something different, great. Whatever comes from what I do is a bonus. But I'm just trying to win. People will make their own choices, anyway.

This is awesome. After all the controversy and tension at the Olympics, I wanted to show people at home that my priority is skating.

I'm not a team player. The team pursuit was the race before the 1000 meters, so it's silly. People do what's best for them. I had the opportunity to win the 1,000 meters and I was focused on that. You have to ask Chad Hedrick if he would have run the team pursuit if it was the day before the 5,000 meters.

I'm one of a kind. I'm a different type of person. I have a different charisma. A lot of people don't understand me.

You've got to be tough. People are skating really well, and you've got to go out there and know you're a tough dude.
