I enjoy my life, I love track, I'm set for life financially.

I have no intention of lingering through a season, just to have a chance to be an alternate on a relay. I don't want that.

Countries like Jamaica do not have a random program, so they can go months without being tested. I'm not saying anyone is on anything, but everyone needs to be on a level playing field.

My best year of track competition was the first year I ate a vegan diet.

By carrying the torch, you will be bridging cultural and social barriers, and all the boundaries that separate nation from nation.

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