I think it's very important, even if you're not in organized sports, but just to be active, to be healthy.

My dad's a pastor and a seminary professor, my mom, she has such great faith.

For me, it's really important to be able to compete on the highest level.

I've heard so many stories of young girls watching the Olympics and being inspired by it, and they want to do it now, and that's really cool.

I always want to give more than I gave yesterday.

I know that they [Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Florence Griffith-Joyner and even Wilma Rudolph] have paved the way and they have been a source of inspiration.

I am a sprinter, and I love to go fast. It's very difficult for me to be patient and follow a race strategy or conserve energy.
