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.
One of the things we're trying to do more of is not just take money from corporate partnerships, but get more involved in the business side for when I retire. So Puma are going to make me an ambassador for life. I have a clothing line coming out. I am investing a lot in housing in Jamaica, buildings for rent.
The more success I have with track and field the bigger my brand is. So I would say I'm more of a brand now, trying to build for the future.
I try not to eat too much fast food but still go for hot wings occasionally. As I get older, I have to pay more attention to my diet. My favorite food is jerk pork.
I try to live my life to the best, but I just always preach that you should just work hard and do your best.
There's a lot of great Olympians, but for me, I try to prove myself as one of the best - and that's the key thing.
I try to lead by example.
I really don't have a favorite meal. I eat anything.
For me he (Tendulkar) is one of the greatest cricketers
Track and field was very big when I was growing up.
Sleep is extremely important to me - I need to rest and recover in order for the training I do to be absorbed by my body
It was not perfect but I'm very happy. It could have been better, but I'm now looking forward to my second race of the season.
