In the sports arena I would say there is nothing like training and preparation. You have to train your mind as much as your body.
I guess rumors are more exciting than the truth.
I don't pay much attention to sports.
I loved old black and white movies especially the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals. I loved everything about them - the songs the music the romance and the spectacle. They were real class and I knew that I wanted to be in that world.
