To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.

I don't just go out there and run. I like to give people watching something exciting.

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

How does a kid from Coos Bay, with one leg longer than the other win races? All my life people have been telling me, 'You're too small Pre', 'You're not fast enough Pre', 'Give up your foolish dream Steve'. But they forgot something, I HAVE TO WIN.

A race is a work of art.

As far as being a coach, it's always fascinated me. It's a greater responsibility than most people give it credit for because you're dealing with people.

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.
