I want to give as many Canadians the opportunity to be successful and if we can use their athletic gifts to get them a free degree or a free diploma across the border then I guess I'm doing my job.

What I did at the start of each season, regardless if I was coming back as the champion, was run indoors and take forward steps from the first race.

In running, I can internalize that intensity. I can handle it because it's me and I'm coming back in the next race. I'm always ready for the next race.

My dad is a great cricket fan, and I used to play a bit back in Jamaica.

The secret to my success is that I bit off more than I could chew and chewed as fast as I could.

You cannot predict literary success; the only way you can possibly aim for it is to do your thing and do it well.

To me, life is huge and thrilling and exciting and explosive and loud. If I can make music that communicates that and reflects that, then that's an achievement.

Anytime you play a team sport, the success of the team really makes everything better. It's nice.
