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

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.

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.

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

My favourite event was the 200m, so as I won the 100m, I thought it was possible I'd win the 200m.

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.

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