You know, I love wearing heels. I wish I could wear them all the time, but, you know, my sport doesn't really permit it.

It was not until the end of my freshman year in high school that I thought I could really have a future in track and field. I definitely did not think I could make it to the Olympics back then, though; I was just focused on making it to the state finals!

Most people don't think about plyometrics when they think about powerful strength. But I do lots of them to build mine.

I was a disruptive child.

Before a race, I block out what's going on in the stadium. It's different for everyone. But for me, I've always been able to block it out. For a sprint race, it's important not to get distracted.

The pressure is hard. You get - the world is only watching every four years, and I think lots of people feel like they have to win in that time frame.

I want to run for eternal glory and track is great, but it's not what life is all about.
