The integral part of being a star is having the will to win. All the champions have it.

My parents always encouraged me and I had a good home life. We were always taught to respect things and other people. It's so different today, because children are just not taught the right way.

I always felt free when I ran. I suppose that's what was good about it.

I don't concentrate on things I can't do. I do what I can do.

You've got to stick at a thing, a particular thing, until you succeed. I feel that's the only way to succeed - by concentrating on something in particular. Once you know what you've got to do you will succeed, you will succeed.

My salvation was a free gift. I didn't have to work for it and it's better than any gold medal that I've ever won.
