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

Everything I did that required effort, I opened my mouth. Even to catch a ball, I opened my mouth.

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

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.

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

No way did I ever think I was going to win the 100m.
