What I like most about track is the feeling I get after a good run.

Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run

What kind of crazy nut would spend two or three hours a day just running?

Something inside of me just said 'Hey, wait a minute, I want to beat him,' and I just took off.

No matter how hard you train, Somebody will train harder. No matter how hard you run, Somebody will run harder. No matter how hard you want it, Somebody will want it more, I am Somebody.

No one will ever win a 5,000-meter by running an easy two miles. Not against me.

The idea of losing the three at Hayward Field and the idea of losing my specialty to someone who wasn't running his specialty. Mostly, the idea of losing in front of my people. They haven't forgotten about me.
