I'd Like To Show People That If

When You're Competing, You Don't Have The Choice Of What The Weather Will Be Like. It Really Doesn't Affect Me. I Ran One Of My Fastest Times In The New York Diamond League Meeting Last Year. It Was Raining Pretty Hard Then.

I Want To Wake Up Every Day And Feel That I'm Training Harder Than My Competitors, That I'm Dieting Harder, That I'm Recovering Better. That's What Gives Me Confidence When I'm Lining Up On The Blocks. I've Never Gone Out To Prove People Wrong. I Just Want To Be The Best That I Can Possibly Be.

My Parents Didn't Give Me Any Scope To Feel Sorry For Myself. They Were Just Like 'go Play With Your Brother, Go Climb A Tree, Go Fall Off Your Motorbike, Do Whatever You Want. Don't Come Crying To Us When You Get Scratched. You've Got Prosthetic Legs - That's Very Nice.

The Only Disability In Life Is Having A Bad Attitude

I Still Find It Strange, I Suppose, When I Say To Someone, 'can You Just Pass Me My Leg?' But I Don't Ever Think About My Disability.
