“When I was younger, I always wanted to impress, to be good for my country, to make them feel good, and sometimes that meant I didn't focus on myself enough. I learned I had to put myself first. And it's fine because I want for me the same thing that they want for me, which is to win.”

“I work hard, and I do good, and I'm going to enjoy myself. I'm not going to let you restrict me.”

“Track and field was very big when I was growing up.”

“Manners is the key thing. Say, for instance, when you're growing up, you're walking down the street, you've got to tell everybody good morning. Everybody. You can't pass one person.”

“When people see your personality come out, they feel so good, like they actually know who you are.”

“For some reason, when I get to the 200m, I'm always a little bit nervous.”

“I really don't have a favorite meal. I eat anything.”

“When people come to a race, part of it is the anticipation: 'What is he going to do?'”

“I was playing cricket first and my cricket coach was the one that introduced me to track and field.”

“I've tried my hardest to bribe my chef, but my team have been clever and hired someone who not only is not bribeable but who chases me round the house and makes sure I eat what he's cooked, and he lays out my vitamin pills and supplements in front of me so I can't 'forget' to take them.”

“I definitely know I'm going to be working a lot more with my foundation when it comes to developing the kids in Jamaica.”

“I can't watch a Mayweather fight. I don't find it exciting.”

“Where I'm from, there is no violence, pretty much.”

“For me, I'm focused on what I want to do. I know what I need to do to be a champion, so I'm working on it.”

“I've learned over the years that if you start thinking about the race, it stresses you out a little bit. I just try to relax and think about video games, what I'm gonna do after the race, what I'm gonna do just to chill. Stuff like that to relax a little before the race.”

“I know what to do and I go and execute.”

“My coach is pushing me harder than ever to make sure I stay at a good level.”

“I don't think limits.”

“You do not want to get married at 22! Especially if you're famous, because girls are going to be throwing themselves at you.”

“I can't really live outside Jamaica. I can be away, but only for a while.”
