You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back.

My philosophy is that I'm an artist. I perform an art not with a paint brush or a camera. I perform with bodily movement. Instead of exhibiting my art in a museum or a book or on canvas, I exhibit my art in front of the multitudes.

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

The best pace is a suicide pace, and today looks like a good day to die.

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

I like to make something beautiful when I run ... it's style. It's doing something better than anyone else. It's being creative.
