My career has always been one of the most important things, but after having a baby you find that it drops down on the totem pole.
When I'm home, I'm relaxed.
The ultimate would be to compete in a couple more Olympics, hopefully break some world records and wind up my sports career with a couple of years in the WNBA.
I will continue to express the fact I am for a drug-free sport and always will be.
You forget that sometimes people are out there to get you - they don't even have a reason
I'm an Internet junkie.
We realized that the only persons we can truly trust in this world is each other and our families.
I think the people who have really followed my career from the time I was seven years old can see my steady progress and see the type of person and athlete I am.
Love is not about two people doing things similar. It is about two people doing things differently to cover one another's flaws, and making it a perfect whole.
But I don't believe in guilt by association.
As a child I was very involved with sports and I knew at age 9 that I wanted to be an Olympic champion.
Get involved in everything you've ever dreamed of doing.
Nobody has ever said anything about Marion Jones every using performance-enhancing drugs and they never will
I've never worked a day in my life. Don't get me wrong. I work at track. If you love what you do, it's not work.
