We Jamaicans are not so much stressed about time, you know, but you have to stay on top of it. And, of course, on the track, every time we go on the track, it is all about the seconds and the fractions of a second that count.

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.

I have to show who I am, play with the crowd, play with the camera. When people come to a race, part of it is the anticipation, "What is he going to do?"

I was playing cricket first and my cricket coach was the one that introduced me to track and field.

There are things that bother me. I try not to let them, but they do.

I stay as far away from politics as possible, or any controversy.

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.
