There's a lot of great Olympians, but for me, I try to prove myself as one of the best - and that's the key thing.

I wouldn't say I'm a phenomenon, just a great athlete.

I remember when I was 14, I went to race in Hungary, and I went to a concert, and they were playing Bob Marley songs, and I thought, "Wow, this guy is so special." It's Marley every time.

I just want to push the barriers and see what I can do and how far I can go. I am just determined and driven.

I try not to eat too much fast food but still go for hot wings occasionally. As I get older, I have to pay more attention to my diet. My favorite food is jerk pork.

In Jamaica, you learn as a child how to roll a joint. Everyone here has tried it. I did too

When I was younger I always wanted to impress, to be good for my country, to make them feel good, and sometimes that meant I didn't focus on myself enough. I learned I had to put myself first. And it's fine because I want for me the same thing that they want for me, which is to win.
