“Breaking the world record in '92 was a very special personal moment, b...” — Dan O'Brien Quote

“Breaking the world record in '92 was a very special personal moment, but I'd say my favorite moment as a decathlete was winning the Olympic gold medal.”

“Through everything I've gone through- and I've been everywhere, at the top of the world, in jail, hung over drunk - I never gave up my dream of winning a gold medal in the Olympics.”

“After the failure in '92, my goal was to be a good pole vaulter. I used that as motivation.”

“I was a total, insane 'Breaking Bad' fan.”

“I'll write maybe one long paragraph describing the events, then a page or two breaking the events into chapters, and then reams of pages delving into my characters. After that, I'm ready to begin.”

“I may have the 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn' soundtrack, which I've been told is embarrassing, but come on, there are some good songs on there.”
