As strong as my legs are, it is my mind that has made me a champion.

Be who you are in every situation.

They think because I'm small, they can do what they want to do to me. But I'm not weak. If I lower my shoulder and they lower they're shoulder, they're going to go down.

I've had to learn that not everybody does things my way. But I do expect the absolute best of everyone around me, and I'm disappointed when people don't expect that of themselves.

I had already been into my professional career for six years and had not won an individual gold medal at the Olympics. There was a tremendous amount of pressure going into 1996 to get it done.

I work hard to improve myself as a person - as a father, as a husband, as a manager. I'm always on that mission.

I always wanted to be a sprinter.
