I've found that a person does not need protein from meat to be a successful athlete. In fact, my best year of track competition was the first year I ate a vegan diet.

Our message of the day is service does not need a title.

The best kids are going to become the best. But the best thing about it is that you're going to learn lessons in playing those sports about winning and losing and teamwork and teammates and arguments and everything else that are going to affect you positively for the rest of your life.

After I left the podium in Atlanta, I felt so fulfilled in my career that I lost my desire to compete at that level again.

My best performances were when I was 30 years old, and I was a vegan.

I found the emotion that as an athlete you block out, and it really helped me to understand myself as a person. I'm a really emotional person and it helped make me a better person.

I always wanted to be wealthy. I did.
