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 tell you, it was kind of two-fold. I fortunately had a lot of support. My coach was amazing - he told me to focus on being prepared and that is what I did. Every athlete is nervous - any athlete who tells you they're not nervous isn't telling you the truth. I was as prepared as I could be.

When I run - you can see my record - I run to win.

I work with the Carl Lewis Foundation focusing on youth from high school down.

I'm not a coach and I know it. I'm too busy and it doesn't pay. I'm expensive. But I would always advise.

To this day, most people think of me as the fastest human. They don't really think me as a long jumper, although that's the event I had more success in.

You're not going to get a chance to vote for me on the ballot, but you can actually vote for what I believe in.
