I am a sprinter, and I love to go fast. It's very difficult for me to be patient and follow a race strategy or conserve energy.

I'm always nervous. If I wasn't nervous, it would be weird. I get the same feeling at all the big races. It's part of the routine, and I accept it. It means I'm there and I'm ready.

I have learned that track doesn't define me. My faith defines me. I'm running because I have been blessed with a gift.

I'm really laid back but I still like to dress up sometimes.

I always want to give more than I gave yesterday.

I try to think about my goals. I think about my competitors-I know they're working hard, and if they are, I have to work hard too. I have to be one step ahead of them.

Everyone sees the glory moments, but they don't see what happens behind the scenes.

Every moment is not great and sometimes those are the moments in which you learn the most.

My speed is a gift from God, and I run for His glory. Whatever I do, it all comes from him.

Philippians 1:21 is very special to me because it helps to keep my life centered.

I'm just competitive. It doesn't matter what it is. I want to win.

Talking with someone at four in the morning, that's not the thing most people have a simplicity to enjoy.

Sometimes we're gonna have our bad days, but we must continue to work to be great. Keep smiling. It looks beautiful on you!!

I wanted things that I couldn't at times articulate.

There are always risks in challenging excessive police power, but the risks of not challenging it are more dangerous, even fatal.

I'm very much a gentleman in what I do.

Arm yourself with as many options as possible before making your next move.

For storytelling purposes, there has to be conflict, but that doesn't mean the people have to be mean. I've never liked mean-spirited comedy.

Forget about calories - everything makes thin people thinner, and fat people fatter.

The difficulty is that we try to perfect others before we perfect ourselves.

After decades of hauling telescopes around in the back of vans and going up to high altitude locations and so forth, I did finally build an observatory, here on Sonoma mountain.
