I want to give as many Canadians the opportunity to be successful and if we can use their athletic gifts to get them a free degree or a free diploma across the border then I guess I'm doing my job.

I think that every single person should play sports.

Every kid needs a mentor. Everybody needs a mentor.

Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and, above all, don't let anyone limit your dreams.

Always educate yourself.

Im Jamaican, man. Im Jamaican first. You gotta understand thats where Im from. Thats home. That you can never take away from me. Im a Jamaican-born Canadian sprinter.

I'll have to say winning the Olympic gold in Atlanta is a crowning achievement, along with the gold in the relay in the same games.

A team sport is not very good for me, because I can't take losing.

You find sprinters testing other sprinters' mental capability. But these are my good friends on the track. I don't think we need to do that.

I love music, and a lot of it. Jazz is probably on the top with guys like Miles Davis. But I even enjoy music from the '60s and '70s.

We don't have a manufacturing base. We don't have a middle-class jobs growing at all. All we have is a few rich people and a service industry to service them.

Impermanence is not something to be afraid of. It's the evolution, a never-ending horizon.

It's very rare that you just get stuck with the ball. You're going to get somebody open.

For sure, the funeral industry seems intensely cynical to me and I don't think it is HELPING people mourn.

I go fishing for a thousand monsters in the depths of my own self

We need to understand that there is a process of learning and experience and success will stem from this. The painting represents life and the brushstroke represents the steps we take in life.
