I never let track define me. That's something that's really important to me.

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.

I read nonfiction for information, fiction for truth.

I love figuring out a stranger, sitting down and learning about their loves and struggles and everything. People are my jam.

Billions of people don't practice a religion at all.

I watch a lot of television. I always have.

Everyday I strive to, at least, recognise my short-comings and the things I have to do to be the best person that I can possibly be.

Gabriel Byrne is an extraordinary human being. We have two extraordinary kids and we work at it. We were always friends. He stuck by me through very hard times, and I hope he'd say the same about me.

Sometimes when I sleep at night I think of (Dr. Seuss's) 'Hop on Pop.'

What if marriage is really about making us more like Christ, not so much about making us happy?

Let's face it, life is a constant challenge. It's full of unexpected detours that no one but you can navigate.

I developed this guiding statement to stress on the fact that every good thing takes time to develop.
