I've been in international competition, and now I know what the big boys can do. You don't go out and just run. There's an offense and a defense.

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.

Having a true faith is the most difficult thing in the world. Many will try to take it from you.

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

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.

Don’t be afraid to give up the good for the great.

A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more.
