Since I achieved something, running has exploded in my country.
Why should I say I will retire in three or four years? You retire the very moment you utter those words.
I was the kind of child who worked hard every day with the cows and sheep - I was a very aggressive boy.
I have to change a lot of things before I become a good marathon runner.
Life is a kind of struggle. Life is a sort of fight.
You know the marathon in my country is just exceptional. It's like soccer in England. If England win the world cup and Ethiopia win the marathon - it's the same.
