Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started.

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

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.

A race is a work of art.

Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started.

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

I can endure more pain then anyone you've met. That's why I win, because I can endure more pain.
