If you look at my career, I kind of got progressively better and better and better. I came closer to the top.

Once in a great while I miss the racing, the feeling of winning. That rush. That adrenaline.

I discovered Boulder not through cycling but skiing. I was recruited by the university for the ski team, and in my opinion, it's the best place for skiing - you have this super-light, fluffy champagne snow.

Boulder was my U.S. base for the better part of 20 years, and it will always have a special place in my heart.

Even today, when the Obama administration has liberalized travel to Cuba - and failed to reverse that liberalization when Alan Gross was imprisoned - there are limits.

Even though Chinese society was really closed, there were two windows for me to explore the world. One was from my mother and grandmother, the unseen and invisible world. Another window was brought from my father's side, those classic and Western books.

I didn't have the money to travel until I got to the NFL, so it's definitely opened doors for me in that capacity.

When I quit 'Iss Pyaar Ko Kyaa Naam Doon 1,' I left the show because I wanted to travel with my wife and spend time with her.
