There are things that bother me. I try not to let them, but they do.
I want to stay involved in athletics; I want to encourage kids to take part and try to grow the sport.
I try to focus and compete and do positive things for the sport.
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.
I think the sport needs the help to continue to motivate athletes.
I want to be one of the greatest athletes ever to live, not only in track and field, but in all of general sport.
I have dedicated my life to the 200m, I really love the 200m a lot.
As long as I'm in great shape, nobody beats me, for sure.
Yeah, I am lazy. There's no doubt about that.
When I was young, I didn't really think about anything other than sports.
All I have to do is to work on transition and technique.
I don't know the history of my sport. I'm not like those people who know everything.
I told you all I was going to be No. 1, and I did just that.
For me, I'm focused on what I want to do. I know what I need to do to be a champion, so I'm working on it.
