I look at myself as the 'Batman' of track -- a vigilante. You may not like me, but I'm needed.

I don't want to leave the sport saying I could have run faster. I just want to be tapped out, like I gave it my all.

People mistakenly believe that if you do nothing but train you can only get better. You've got to work hard, but the harder you work the harder you must rest and relax.

It is simply not consistent with either my character or my confidence in my God-given athletic ability to cheat in any way.

I'm still dominant and that's what matters, ... But rain, snow, sleet, it doesn't matter. I'm going to go out and try and win a gold medal.

I ran like a champion. It is a great consolation to show how dominant I am. I am the Olympic champion and the world champion, but I want Justin Gatlin to be the champion of everything.

Double gold means I'm king of the sprints. It shows I'm the best sprinter around.

I have had enough rest and enough training.

Rock is fine. No structural damage to rock. Rock can break through paper at any point. Just say the word. Paper sucks.

If we are to change America, we must change the United States Congress.

With Zeppelin, I tried to play something different every night in my solos. I'd play for 20 minutes but the longest ever was 30 minutes. It's a long time, but whenI was playing it seemed to fly by.

Out of Dostoevsky: Kafka. Out of Tolstoy: Margaret Mitchell. (in conversation, explaining his dislike for Tolstoy)

I don't ever land on an album title until I know exactly what's going on the record, because you never know until it's all said and done.

Obviously, we're really upset about the state of the election. It's horrifying, as everybody knows, that we could have a totally fascist president.

Read at whim! Read at whim!

I'm not saying I am never going to fall in love again, but there is no need to marry.

I've always known who I am. I might not work perfectly, or be like them, but that's okay. I know I work in my own way.

What I love about the game is that the game doesn't know who is supposed to win.
