I always felt free when I ran. I suppose that's what was good about it.

I realised from a very early age that God gave me a gift, and that gift was to run, and I wanted to use it to the best of my ability.

My salvation was a free gift. I didn't have to work for it and it's better than any gold medal that I've ever won.

Everything I did that required effort, I opened my mouth. Even to catch a ball, I opened my mouth.

No way did I ever think I was going to win the 100m.

The integral part of being a star is having the will to win. All the champions have it.

My favourite event was the 200m, so as I won the 100m, I thought it was possible I'd win the 200m.

You've got to stick at a thing, a particular thing, until you succeed.I feel that's the only way to succeed - by concentrating on something in particular. Once you know what you've got to do you will succeed, you will succeed.

My parents always encouraged me and I had a good home life. We were always taught to respect things and other people. It's so different today, because children are just not taught the right way.

For me, it is all about people having jobs, and that is why I make no apology for having focused relentlessly on employment and job creation.

I love sleeping in a moving car more than sleeping in bed.

Love is the easiest thing there is. Its the layers of doubt fear and expectation that make it complicated.

The hearing test, which involved sitting in a quiet room listening to noises of various pitch played through headphones, confirmed the worst. I had no hearing in my left ear whatsoever.

Some of the greatest things, as I understand, they have come about by serendipity, the greatest discoveries.

My favourite superhero? I have a soft spot for Batman, because he doesn't have any super powers - he's just a person. And he's pretty dark.

Pessimists never go on a voyage of discovery, equally so they never leave the shoreline in search of new horizons.

I find that when we really love and accept and approve of ourselves exactly as we are, then everything in life works.

As a founder and most senior member of the CBC, John Conyers has been an advocate for the Congressional Black Caucus and a respected leader in the House of Representatives.

It's not about choosing a specific genre; that's not how I go about deciding what movies to make.

We shall establish an united Chinese Republic in order that all the peoples - Manchus, Mongols, Tibetans, Tartars, and Chinese - should constitute a single powerful nation.

If you think you might have secret information listening to me, you're lost.

The New Age movement looks like a mixed bag. I see much in it that seems good: It's optimistic; it's enthusiastic; it has the capacity for belief. On the debit side, I think one needs to distinguish between belief and credulity.

I'm not an aggressive person at all. But I know how to fight.

If you go the way of your thoughts you will be carried away by them and you will find yourself in an endless maze.

The theological virtue of hope is the patient and trustful willingness to live without closure, without resolution, and still be content and even happy because our Satisfaction is now at another level, and our Source is beyond ourselves.

Elegance is very dangerous. It's like TNT. A little goes a long way.

It would be foolhardy to count on the conscience of the world.

I grew up on films.

Tennis is an addiction that once it has truly hooked a man will not let him go.

I wanna create a character that's really memorable... like Julia Roberts did in 'Pretty Woman.'

There never was a time when, in my opinion, some way could not be found to prevent the drawing of the sword.

I've always had a love for making things my own.

We are so proud of 'Unconditional'. I couldn't have been more honest in these songs, and I can't wait to see the impact they have. This record is exactly what it's supposed to be.
