My coach told me if I broke the national record for the 200, I could run a 100.

I've worked hard over the years, I've been injured and I've worked hard through it, and I've made it.
I'd like to say to all my fans out there, thanks for the support. And to all my doubters, thank you very much because you guys have also pushed me.
If I get to be a legend, I've achieved my goal.
But if I keep my core and back strong, the scoliosis doesn't really bother me.
I work hard, and I do good, and I'm going to enjoy myself. I'm not going to let you restrict me.
People like to see showdowns.
I don't like losing anyways.
I can't really live outside Jamaica. I can be away, but only for a while.
Track and field was very big when I was growing up.
Sometimes you lose sight of what's going on around you.
But anybody who steps into the lane beside you is the biggest competition because they made it to the finals.
I've learned over the years that if you start thinking about the race, it stresses you out a little bit. I just try to relax and think about video games, what I'm gonna do after the race, what I'm gonna do just to chill. Stuff like that to relax a little before the race.
You do not want to get married at 22! Especially if you're famous, because girls are going to be throwing themselves at you.
For me, I'm focused on what I want to do. I know what I need to do to be a champion, so I'm working on it.
As long as I'm in great shape, nobody beats me, for sure.
Where I'm from, there is no violence, pretty much.
I don't think limits.
Repeating is harder than anything else.
When people see your personality come out, they feel so good, like they actually know who you are.
People always say I'm a legend, but I'm not. Not until I've defended my Olympic titles. That's when I've decided I'll be a legend.
Manners is the key thing. Say, for instance, when you're growing up, you're walking down the street, you've got to tell everybody good morning. Everybody. You can't pass one person.
All I have to do is to work on transition and technique.
I remember once, actually the first race I ran, I fell.
