I'm an athlete who's very determined and I understand sacrifice.

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.

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

It's really clear to me that you can't hang onto something longer than its time. Ideas lose certain freshness, ideas have a shelf life, and sometimes they have to be replaced by other ideas.

If one does not understand a person, one tends to regard him as a fool.

There is rampant among us a spirit of criticism. Men and women who carry heavy responsibility do not need criticism, they need encouragement.

There will always be some curve balls in your life. Teach your children to thrive in that adversity.

You need to fail in order to find the right solution.

I run around in circles, professionally.

God's only excuse is that he does not exist.

I wanted to be a film and television writer and producer.
