I would rather be lying in a bed than changing one.
Once a year I will clean my room, just because I feel I should.
My hunger is always there.
Every season, for me, it's like starting from scratch again.
A lot of legends, a lot of people, have come before me. But this is my time.
It's always a wake-up call to get beaten.
My relationship with everyone in Jamaica is good.
I know what I can do so it doesn't bother me what other people think or their opinion on the situation.
I think my acceleration is very good. That's the key for me.
I was playing cricket first and my cricket coach was the one that introduced me to track and field.
I really don't have a favorite meal. I eat anything.
I remember once, actually the first race I ran, I fell.
I don't read a lot of books.
I really want to try soccer after I retire because I've watched football over the years and I think I could be a good contender.
I just love dancing.
I don't even like to go out onto the streets sometimes because I can't get anything done. People want pictures and autographs all the time.
You have good days and bad days.
You can get beat any day.
It's a great feat for me to have broken my world record.
I know what to do and I go and execute.
