Greatness is defined by someone who is not simply awesome and wonderful in the sport they compete in but goes beyond that and is great in whatever they do off the track or off the court.

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.

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

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.

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

Get involved in everything you've ever dreamed of doing.

I train so hard to make sure failure doesn't happen. If I do everything I can, and run as fast as I possibly can and someone still beats me, I don't think of that as failure.
