I want to wake up every day and feel that I'm training harder than my competitors, that I'm dieting harder, that I'm recovering better. That's what gives me confidence when I'm lining up on the blocks. I've never gone out to prove people wrong. I just want to be the best that I can possibly be.

These have always been my legs. I train harder than other guys, eat better, sleep better and wake up thinking about athletics. I think that's probably why I'm a bit of an exception.

I don't see myself as disabled. There's nothing I can't do that able-bodied athletes can do.

I still find it strange, I suppose, when I say to someone, 'Can you just pass me my leg?' But I don't ever think about my disability.

You're not disabled by the disabilities you have, you are able by the abilities you have.

Being disabled doesn't have to be a disadvantage.

I don't want to be competing in a sport where I feel that I'm here not on my talent and my hard work but because of a piece of equipment.
