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.

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.

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

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.

Running gives me confidence.

I run to see who has the most guts.

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