I train harder than anyone else in the world. Last year I was supposed to take a month off and I took three days off because I was afraid somebody out there was training harder. That's the feeling I go through every day - Am I not doing what somebody else is doing? Is someone out there training harder than I am? I can't live with myself if someone is.

You forget that sometimes people are out there to get you - they don't even have a reason.

My father wasn't really involved and my mom is the light in my life.

I've never worked a day in my life. Don't get me wrong. I work at track. If you love what you do, it's not work.

The ultimate would be to compete in a couple more Olympics, hopefully break some world records and wind up my sports career with a couple of years in the WNBA.

Love is not about two people doing things similar. It is about two people doing things differently to cover one another's flaws, and making it a perfect whole.

As a child I was very involved with sports and I knew at age 9 that I wanted to be an Olympic champion.
