I don't think history is stupid.History ultimately rectifies a lot of these things. If you had to ask me what I think happens in 50 years, I don't think it sits empty in 50 years. Maybe somebody else's name is there. But you can't leave it empty.

Me and running don’t always see eye to eye. Some days it hurts more than others. But it doesn’t mean I don’t do it. I deal with it and I keep running because not everything that is good for you, always feels good for you.

I'm not trying to justify myself, or say I'm not sorry, or not contrite.

Life to me is a series of false limits and my challenge as an athlete is to explore those limits

People refer to 'the good ol' days', but I don't know what they're talking about. As someone who's battled cancer, if I lived more than 20 years ago, I'd be a dead man.

How many times do I have to say it? … Well, it can't be any clearer than 'I've never taken drugs.'

Athletes don't have much use for poking around in their childhoods, because, introspection doesn't get you anywhere in a race.
