I know there are a lot of people out there who have the best intentions but not the voice, so it's about people like me to give them a voice and hear their ideas.

I'm very serious about becoming a dramatic actor. I don't want to play cameo parts walking on as Carl Lewis the athlete. I want to go on stage or screen and be taken seriously.

I'm not Carl Lewis the athlete any more. I'm growing into a new person with new interests and new goals.

I'm a businessman and actor and I still make appearances.

I enjoy my life, I love track, I'm set for life financially.

Most people want to become movie stars and I just want to be in the business. I already was a star. If I get the part of a lifetime and it blows up, then that's wonderful. But if the acting doesn't work, fine. I'll just be a producer. And if the producing doesn't work, fine. I've got a lot of other stuff.

I don't feel I'm qualified to be a coach outside the high school level. I think I would need to do more education to really be a good coach.
