The trials on the road to world harmony are no greater than the courage of those who accept the challenge.

Whether I'm 40, 50 or 60, I'm going to be as physically strong as I am able.

I'm not supposed to be able to speak clearly, and decipher what's going on in the media. I'm supposed to be the typical amateur who's 22 and scared to death and can't believe he won the Olympics.

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.

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.

Life is about timing and overcoming difficult things.

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.
