I Like The Pressure Of Having To

I'm Not Carl Lewis The Athlete Any More. I'm Growing Into A New Person With New Interests And New Goals.

Whether I'm 40, 50 Or 60, I'm Going To Be As Physically Strong As I Am Able.

I Never Competed Against Athletes. I Competed Against Perfection.

Scientists Have Proven That It's Impossible To Long-jump 30 Feet, But I Don't Listen To That Kind Of Talk. Thoughts Like That Have A Way Of Sinking Into Your Feet.

After I Left The Podium In Atlanta, I Felt So Fulfilled In My Career That I Lost My Desire To Compete At That Level Again.
