Some Americans just shouldnt leave the country.

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.

Some Americans just shouldnt leave the country.

Scientists have proven that it's impossible to long-jump 30 feet, but I don't listen to that kind of talk. Thoughts like that have a way of sinking into your feet.

If you don't have confidence, you'll always find a way not to win.

I want to be remembered as a person who felt there was no limitation to what the human body and mind can do and be the inspiration to lead people to do things they never hoped to do.

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.
