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

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 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.

We cannot rest until we make sure that our families can afford to live and raise their kids here, that our seniors can remain in their homes and afford their health and pharmaceutical costs.

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

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