When you've moved 13 times, you lose track of where you're from. — © Alice Merton
When you've moved 13 times, you lose track of where you're from.
By the time I was seven, my mother and I had moved 13 times.
I love short track. I competed in short track, I was a world champion in 1986 but at that point in time it wasn't in the Olympic Games so I moved into long track. Short track is a blast to skate and it's a blast to watch.
I grew up in Mississippi. I was there for 13 years, and then when I turned 13, I moved out to L.A.
I moved around 13 different times before I was in fifth grade, not having money, not having a lot of friends.
When I was 13, my family moved from a suburb of New York City to Miami, Florida, and we moved there the Friday before Labor Day weekend.
I was born in Chicago. I moved to Detroit until I was six and moved to Oakland at that point. And then we had a couple years in Stockton and Pasadena. And by the time I was 13, I was back in Oakland.
We had more great times than bad times together, but they've moved on, I've moved on. I have a new team now and I have a new focus.
I knew there was no money in track and field unless you were unbelievable. So I stopped it when I was 13. I just really wanted to focus on soccer and with soccer training and high school, it would have been too much if I did track and field as well.
It's very easy to lose track of the environment around you, to lose touch with the present.
I think sometimes when it comes to sports, and especially relationships between players and coaches, that people lose track, lose a sense of reality.
With some break-ups, all you can think about afterwards is how badly it ended and how much the other person hurt you. With others, you become sentimental for the good times and lose track of what went wrong.
I heard about twenty, twenty-four bars of one track - one track - on '13,' and I listened to it, and I just didn't like it at all; I just didn't like it. And I have that right not to like it.
As I've said many times and publicly, a war between China and Taiwan that involves the United States is a lose-lose-lose.
I moved here to California when I was 13 to pursue my acting career.

I've stayed sharp, basically through football workouts. I cater those workouts to track-specific things, so I don't lose the rhythm I've always had to keep football and track in balance.
