I like the pressure of having to perform so people will come to me.

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'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.

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.

Track and field is the best way to reach out for kids. It doesn't matter how fast you are. You always want to beat someone.

I've always known that sporting people frequently suffer from joint problems because of the repeated strain they put on their bodies to get to the top. But somehow I never thought it would happen to me.

Channel your energy. Focus.
