Channel your energy. Focus.

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.

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

Life is about timing and overcoming difficult things.

I want to be a millionaire, and I don't ever want a real job.
