On keys to success in the 2005 season: “There are so many things that lead an athlete to success...for some it's all about effort and commitment, for others it's all about having a drive to achieve, and I feel like for me it's all about living in the moment. For in this moment we can be calm and content, quiet and still and on our own without our beckoning; wisdom and understanding can come together with love and compassion and we grow, and you know there's little else that needs to be done 'cept to stay in the moment, in the present.”
