My coach keeps telling me to say I'm not going to retire. I should just go through the motions and see what I feel every year and see if I really want to do it, but personally, I want to do it, but my coach says just take your time, don't rush.
I don't put myself under pressure.
All I have to do is to work on transition and technique.
Track and field was very big when I was growing up.
Where I'm from, there is no violence, pretty much.
If you're the Olympic champion then they have to wait four more years to get you again.
I like music a lot.
There are things that bother me. I try not to let them, but they do.
I don't know the history of my sport. I'm not like those people who know everything.
I have matured a lot.
I don't think about records.
I just love dancing.
I don't read a lot of books.
I was playing cricket first and my cricket coach was the one that introduced me to track and field.
My relationship with everyone in Jamaica is good.
Once a year I will clean my room, just because I feel I should.
I would rather be lying in a bed than changing one.
My coach is pushing me harder than ever to make sure I stay at a good level.
In track years... track is not like other sports. You do have track athletes that stay in this sport until, like, 35, 36, but I think when you get to 28, it's really difficult.
I definitely know I'm going to be working a lot more with my foundation when it comes to developing the kids in Jamaica.
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 can't watch a Mayweather fight. I don't find it exciting.
For some reason, when I get to the 200m, I'm always a little bit nervous.
