"I always separated sports and my personal life." — Carl Lewis

When I run - as you see from my record - I run to win.

Any press is good press. So keep on ragging me.

The best kids are going to become the best. But the best thing about it is that you're going to learn lessons in playing those sports about winning and losing and teamwork and teammates and arguments and everything else that are going to affect you positively for the rest of your life.

There is no correlation between a childhood success and a professional athlete.
