“Even when I was on vacation after the Olympia, I was looking for gym t...” — Dorian Yates Quote

Even when I was on vacation after the Olympia, I was looking for gym to train in. Not only was it 24 hours a day, it was 365 days a year. That may have been a little too extreme, but that is what got me there from that little backstreet gym in England to becoming Mr. Olympia.

As an early teen, soccer is the number one thing that you do - and I wasn't very good at that.

It's not good to lose your dad at any time but at 13 years of age you are just going through puberty and growing up and that was a very crucial time and was a hard time to lose my dad and it had a big effect on me.

I was Mr. Olympia and everywhere I went I had to project this image. After some time you start wondering what part of that is really you and which bit you're doing because it's your job.

We're so hungry for the superstardom that the Spice Girls or the Backstreet Boys have, that we're willing to do whatever it takes, work as hard as it takes, to get that.

Backstreet Boys fans don't want to hear the New Kids singing all of their hits. Just like our fans don't want to hear the Backstreet Boys singing all of our hits.

When you talk about *NSYNC or Backstreet Boys - we were like the New Kids, and New Kids were like the Bee Gees. But Girl Radical will be the first ones, and that's a crazy idea. That's what got us so excited.

This is random, but I thought I was going to have the biggest Backstreet Boys fansite. I'm not even gonna lie: I thought I was gonna marry one of the Backstreet Boys, and I was gonna be his Yoko Ono.
