For me, it's really important to be able to compete on the highest level.

I'm always nervous. If I wasn't nervous, it would be weird. I get the same feeling at all the big races. It's part of the routine, and I accept it. It means I'm there and I'm ready.

I have learned that track doesn't define me. My faith defines me. I'm running because I have been blessed with a gift.

I'm really laid back but I still like to dress up sometimes.

I always want to give more than I gave yesterday.

I try to think about my goals. I think about my competitors-I know they're working hard, and if they are, I have to work hard too. I have to be one step ahead of them.

Everyone sees the glory moments, but they don't see what happens behind the scenes.

Every moment is not great and sometimes those are the moments in which you learn the most.

My speed is a gift from God, and I run for His glory. Whatever I do, it all comes from him.

Philippians 1:21 is very special to me because it helps to keep my life centered.

I'm just competitive. It doesn't matter what it is. I want to win.

To oppose something is to maintain it... You must go somewhere else

It's politics . . . It makes everybody stupid. When you grow up, you'll know what I mean.

Nothing that you confess... can make me love you any less.

The body I had at 21, God gave me. The body I have at 31, is one I worked for.

My point is that she's [Laura Bush] busy and I'm busy, which makes our marriage not only interesting but exciting.

That bad letters of every kind arise from want of the habit of thinking, I cannot doubt.

Don't move the way fear makes you move. Move the way love makes you move. Move the way joy makes you move.

As a filmmaker, you're always supposed to be with your characters, in all movies, even if they're villains.

Beautiful light is born of a contrast to darkness.

It doesn't matter what kind of world we live in as long as we have each other.
