I looked up to Don Quarrie and Michael Johnson when I was younger. They were the best in the 200m which was my main event growing up.

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.

The hard part for me is rest. I am a person who stays up late. If I go to bed early, I don't sleep, but I know I have to rest. That is always a struggle for me.

I was always brought up to believe in Him [God], and to behave in certain ways. That is what my parents taught me and I always trust my parents. They have great values.

All I have to do is to work on transition and technique.

I'm just looking forward to accomplishing my goals. My two biggest goals are defending my title and to winning. It would be a full accomplishment if I can get that done. That is what I am looking forward to.

I don't have a clue. These things don't bother me. I think about the technical stuff but not how many steps or what my heart rate is.
