First, do enough training. Then believe in yourself and say: I can do it. Tomorrow is my day. And then say: the person in front of me, he is just a human being as well; he has two legs, I have two legs, that is all. That is mentally how you prepare.

I think if you come first with a new world record, that is the best.

I wanted to experience New York, to look up and see buildings.

This hand is not very active always, because it was in this hand that I carried my books. My carrying hand was always my strongest. Now I think my other hand has developed more muscles from signing all those autographs.

Age for me is just a number.

Athletes have to be confident and I am thinking like that.

Always, if you win mentally, you can win physically as well.
