The only thing you can never change is your values.

As an athlete, I was never really comfortable with being a celebrity.

How could you look more stupid than to be the guy accepting a bronze medal in gold shoes?

Rivalries don't necessarily mean races being close at major championships. I had a rivalry with Butch Reynolds for many years. I won all the races, but Butch was the world record holder before I came into the sport, he was extremely talented and he was the only other man running 43 seconds.

A good traveller is one who knows how to travel with the mind.

You can make goals for family, relationships, anything.

You can't control what the other athlete is going to do; you can't control anything except for your competition and how you execute the race or how you execute the task.
