Nobody likes tainted victories.

Running gives me confidence.

How does a kid from Coos Bay, with one leg longer than the other win races?

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

I'm going to work so that it's a pure guts race at the end, and if it is, I am the only one who can win it.

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.

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