I'm a competitor.

Every kid needs a mentor. Everybody needs a mentor.

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.

Always educate yourself.

I think that every single person should play sports.

I'm a competitor.

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

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

I do a lot of media work, I've been investing and I'm involved with real estate. It's totally different from what I had been doing but I find it challenging and fun. To be honest, I really don't miss the track. I pretty well accomplished what I set out to do and it was time to move on.

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.

I was working in corporate Canada and I was doing all right. But I was burnt out... Long hours, a lot of clients. I just wanted to get away. Track and field was sort of like the elimination thing. I just wanted to go and do something. Exercise my brain and my body and kind of gravitate to that.

I'd like to be a more consistent starter. I'd like a smoother transition from crouching to running. I have to learn to relax during a race and how to breathe.

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.

I'm Jamaican, man. I'm Jamaican first. You gotta understand that's where I'm from. That's home. That you can never take away from me. I'm a Jamaican-born Canadian sprinter.

In running, I can internalize that intensity. I can handle it because it's me and I'm coming back in the next race. I'm always ready for the next race.

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.

Follow your passion be prepared to work hard and sacrifice and above all dont let anyone limit your dreams.

'The Great Gatsby,' by F. Scott Fitzgerald, remains the most perfect novel that has ever come out of the United States. Everything in the book moves as it should, in the manner of a piece by Bach or Mozart.

The key to success is not what you do, it is how you feel about what you are doing.

She should use more mascara. When one is young, one should use a lot of mascara. When one is old, they should use much more.

I'm quite grounded.

The literary depiction of life and its moral dilemmas compel us to use our conscience, to make those infallible distinctions between right and wrong.

I know Koufax' weakness. He can't hit.

In the '90s, it was cool to just like R&B. But I liked Nirvana and stuff, too.

He who is of a calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition, youth and age are equally a burden.

I've taken challenges with the big risk that it can all go wrong. But that's what I like and I'd rather do that than be safe all the time.

Bad days makes you stronger those are the best days because God is talking to you. you just have to listen closely. Dont let your tears become louder than his voice.

In America, the race goes to the loud, the solemn, the hustler. If you think you're a great writer, you must say that you are.

I don't think there's anything wrong with feminist uplift. That's how we got credit cards in our own name.

In 1960, when I graduated from college, people told me a woman couldn't go to law school. And when I graduated from law school, people told me, 'Law firms won't hire you.'

Experience is a good teacher but she sends in terrific bills.

In my vocal, I think you can hear something of my earlier times when I'd sing in subway halls for the echo and perform doo-wop on street corners. But I had a lot of influences, too - singers like Sam Cooke, Brook Benton and Roy Hamilton.

I'm always criticizing and only see the mistakes.

You are a living magnet. What you attract into your life is in in harmony with your dominant thoughts.

Filmmaking is a much more collaborative thing than literature, so you know you're going to be working with a group of people at the start. You know it's going to be a compromise.

Life experience is what defines our character even if it means getting your heart broken or being lied to. You know you need the downs to appreciate the ups. Going on the adventure or taking that risk is important.

The last thing I do before bed is think I should take my contacts out. Then I fall asleep.

I like dry-to-the-bone stuff. I don't know what it is. I was raised on PBS showing weird British comedies.

Think of your opponents hands and feet as swords.

To be sure, the Fair Tax is a big idea. However, I believe America was built on big ideas, and I was elected to Congress to fight for those big ideas, not nibble around the edges of a broken and destructive system. The FairTax would be a real stimulus for economic growth, and it wouldn't cost taxpayers a dime.

Fairly early in my career, I had a passion for wine just as a consumer, and I started to learn about the whole process, starting with a piece of raw ground, and ending up with a work of art in a bottle.
