People always say I'm a legend, but I'm not. Not until I've defended my Olympic titles. That's when I've decided I'll be a legend.
We're not like the distance guys. I have a very simple approach. I don't overcomplicate. People ask me, are you doing 42 steps, 44 steps for 100 metres? I don't know.
I've noticed in England once people reach a certain level they feel they have to get married.
If I can stay [involved] with the sport, we can find different ways to motivate people and preach to them and explain to them that all they need is dedication to the sport.
A few people have said I should let you win
There are so many Jamaican people here in London, it's going to be like being at home for me.
I was not stressing about what other people wanted. I put myself first.
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 have to show who I am, play with the crowd, play with the camera. When people come to a race, part of it is the anticipation, "What is he going to do?"
I don't know the history of my sport. I'm not like those people who know everything.
When people see your personality come out, they feel so good, like they actually know who you are.
I know what I can do so it doesn't bother me what other people think or their opinion on the situation.
A lot of legends, a lot of people, have come before me. But this is my time.
I really don't have a favorite meal. I eat anything.
