I wanted to be champion. I know fame comes with that.
At one time, when I was first starting, when I was first champion, I wanted to be undisputed champion so I could hold all the belts and no one else could say they were champion. Then you realize the boxing business, the politics, get involved and it's not very likely you can accomplish all that.
I think Metamoris really likes having me as their champion, as far as I know, anyway. I think I've done a good job of being a champion and showing what a champion is.
I wanted "Champion" to accompany that whole growth situation, 'cause I feel like, if you go overtime, you will become a champion.
I know my mission is not just to be a champion, I mean, being champion would be great and I want to be one, but it's not under my control, you know.
Part of me didn't know if Australia wanted its champion to be gay.
My only real claim to fame is that I was southern England show-jumping champion in 1966. The day after my father died, 'Horse & Hound' magazine tipped me as a future Olympic champion, and I took it seriously. You can only really enjoy something if you take it seriously.
I never wanted global fame you know.
To be world champion brings fame. The fame brings good things and bad things too. I try to take the good with calmness.
I always wanted to be a world champion, all my life. At 13, I told my mom I would be a world champion.
When I started off riding, you dream about being champion jockey. Then I wanted to be champion jockey again. Then I wanted to ride 200 winners in a season. Then, when there was a chance of riding more winners than Richard Dunwoody, that was my goal.
I ran like a champion. It is a great consolation to show how dominant I am. I am the Olympic champion and the world champion, but I want Justin Gatlin to be the champion of everything.
There's different kind of champions. There's the champion that becomes champion and they're not champion for long. And then you have the guy who becomes champion and he stays at the top for like a decade. And those fighters tend to be very intelligent.
I think there are different kinds of fame. There's fame which is plastic and about paparazzi and money and being rich, and then there's the fame, which is when no one knows who you are but everyone wants to know who you are.
Fame is protection if you go to a scary place. Fame is fun. A lot of people don't say anything and you don't know they know who you are.
I am European Games champion now as well as Olympic champion, European champion, and world champion.
WWE asked me to be in the Hall of Fame, and I turned it down. You know why? They put Pete Rose in the wrestling Hall of Fame. This guy can't even get into his own Hall of Fame.
