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.

It's all about the journey, not the outcome.

I'm a businessman and actor and I still make appearances.

Every New Year's Eve, I have a pact to do something I never thought I'd do. So I created this list. You have to free your mind to do things you wouldn't think of doing. Don't ever say no.

You're not going to get a chance to vote for me on the ballot, but you can actually vote for what I believe in.

My life isn't interesting! It's my mom. You need to write her life and put me in it. I'm a cameo in her life.

'm so fortunate to have done what I love to do for so long, but the day I retired was one of the best days of my life. Not because I was happy to get away from the sport, but because it was clear in my mind that I had done all I possibly could, and that it was time to go.
