Track and field was very big when I was growing up.
I try to lead by example.
Racing comes easily to me, especially the 100 metres. That is why, no matter how fast I run the run the 100 metres, the 200 will always mean more to me, because of the effort I’ve put in.
If you’re the Olympic champion then they have to wait four more years to get you again.
My relationship with everyone in Jamaica is good.
I like to have fun, just stay relaxed.
I don’t like losing anyways.
It was not perfect but I’m very happy. It could have been better, but I’m now looking forward to my second race of the season.
I wouldn’t say I’m a phenomenon, just a great athlete.
My coach told me if I broke the national record for the 200, I could run a 100.
I would rather be lying in a bed than changing one.
Where I’m from, there is no violence, pretty much.
In Jamaica, you learn as a child how to roll a joint. Everyone here has tried it. I did too.
A few people have said I should let you win.
The important thing was that I got the win. It’s good for confidence and the season.
I think my acceleration is very good. That’s the key for me.
I have dedicated my life to the 200m, I really love the 200m a lot.
There are things that bother me. I try not to let them, but they do.
Sleep is extremely important to me – I need to rest and recover in order for the training I do to be absorbed by my body.
I’ve got everything I wanted so I’m just happy.
