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 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.

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.

Directing takes a lot of time.

If the gods care not for me and for my children, There is a reason for it.

I'm always conscious of the context, the history, the specific environment of anything that I design and what it is going to be operating within.

The word 'tolerance' once meant we all have the right to argue rationally for our deepest convictions in the public arena. Now it means those convictions are not even subject to rational debate.

We have to take advantage when luck is on our side, and do as much to help it as it's doing to help us.

I read the other day an account of a meeting between John Knox and John Calvin. Imagine a dialogue between a pestilence and a famine!

I have a healthy amount of humility.
