Be very strong... be very methodical in your life if you want to be a champion.

I got involved in athletics during physical education lessons at school.

Then I received support from the Government to compete for my country, and to represent Cuba in competition.

In Cuba we use our champions to promote the sport.

We are just not made up to be middle distance runners.

Anyone who attempts anything original in the world must expect a bit of ridicule.

I run in practically every single road race in my country, 5k, 10k just to promote the sport.

The most important part of this is to prepare the athlete for life in general and then be able to compete.

You never know the limit of a human being.

The medal is not for yourself. It couldn't be done without the support and help of my people, runners, and coaches

I love music, and outside of work my family keeps me very busy, I have five children to keep track of.

Its oke to be sad. I've been trained to love my darkness

Keep your thoughts clean. the life we are living soon be past.

If you wanted to play with fire, milady, you could have simply asked me for a kiss or three.

We firmly believe the environmental issues cannot be addressed without extensive public participation, but people need to be informed before they can get involved.

I'm off to find my world, my dreams, Carve my niche, sew my seams, Remember, as I sail my streams- I'll love you all the way.

When the chord of monotony is stretched to its tightest, it breaks with the sound of a song.

I was the owner of my own darkness.

I look at albums like novels. If you write a really good scene or a really good moment, just because you wrote it, doesn't mean that it fits with the story that you're writing.

I think of fans like a barbershop. I want that debate.

If government goes beyond securing liberty and instead violates it through regulation, redistribution, and planning, then citizens are victims of legal plunder.
