“If you botch a handoff or stutter step in a relay, then your team has to make up that lost time. It's always you versus the clock.”

“I think that every single person should play sports.”

“I'd like to be a more consistent starter. I'd like a smoother transition from crouching to running. I have to learn to relax during a race and how to breathe.”

“I'm Jamaican, man. I'm Jamaican first. You gotta understand that's where I'm from. That's home. That you can never take away from me. I'm a Jamaican-born Canadian sprinter.”

“A team sport is not very good for me, because I can't take losing.”

“You find sprinters testing other sprinters' mental capability. But these are my good friends on the track. I don't think we need to do that.”

“There are many commentators who have said the wrong thing before. That's part of the business.”
