I’ve never been cocky. Even right now I don’t like to talk about the Olympics.

Someone who doesn’t make the (Olympic) team might weep and collapse. In my day no one fell on the track and cried like a baby. We lost gracefully. And when someone won, he didn’t act...

The only test is what you see when you look in a mirror.

I know I’m in the finals and that’s good. It’s going to be fun no matter where I end up. It’s great saying I made it to the Olympics.
