I realized I could run after finding out that my dad used to run and it gave me the morale that if he did it then maybe I could also run.

Sometimes when you get disappointment it makes you stronger.

It's something special to break the world record at the Olympics.

When I was a little boy, I always wanted to run. I loved competing with my friends.

I love my tribe, the Maasai are very good people and humble.

Even if the pace is slow in championships, you can still sprint well and still power in the last 200, which is always the main part when the race is slow.

My family means everything to me and the birth of our daughter has enabled me to have more focus on my career and every time I compete, I dedicate my success to them.

Fantastic, I am very happy to be the fastest 800 metres runner in the world.

My focus in 2010 was on just running fast races. My focus in 2011 was for winning at the World Championships. This year has been a combination of the two so we'll see what kind of time it brings.

The only way to tell my Dad something is to write it on a note, and tie it to a brick, and throw it through a window. Of course, now Dad's armed with a brick.

We have really no absent friends.

Dennis the Menace was probably the most realistic comic book ever done. No space aliens ever invaded!

Never invest yourself in anything so deeply that its failure could cost you your happiness.

Would I be as strong as that once I did that thing Christophe was talking about? Blooming? Would I smell like a bakery item? Or was that just him? Did he use pie filling for cologne?

Success takes an investment in time, dedication, and sacrifice. This is true education. It is a process.

Somehow the silence seemed to connect us in a way like words never could. - Julianna Baker
