It's a great feat for me to have broken my world record.
I don't even like to go out onto the streets sometimes because I can't get anything done. People want pictures and autographs all the time.
I am doing what I do [athletics] because the fans love it and it's a part of me, it's my personality. I think people come to see you run fast, but they also come to see a show, a performance. They want to see a personality, and that's what I give them.
I really want to try soccer after I retire because I've watched football over the years and I think I could be a good contender.
The clubs, that's easy to cut out, because I know when the season ends I can look forward to going out.
I know what to do and I go and execute.
I wouldn't say I'm a phenomenon, just a great athlete.
I don't put myself under pressure.
I don't like losing anyways.
But if I keep my core and back strong, the scoliosis doesn't really bother me.
I try to lead by example.
I can still improve a lot, but there is definitely a limit to what the human body can do.
You can't really give away anything in your book ... should be exciting, it's my life, and I'm a cool and exciting guy.
I can't really live outside Jamaica. I can be away, but only for a while.
