Every once in a while I think, 'What am I doing out here running, busting myself up? Life could be so much easier. The other guys are out having fun, doing other things, why not me?'

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

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

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

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

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

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