मेरे माता-पिता ने हमेशा मेरा हौसला बढ़ाया और मुझे एक अच्छा पारिवारिक माहौल मिला। हमें हमेशा से चीज़ों और दूसरों का आदर करना सिखाया गया था। आज हालात बिल्कुल अलग हैं, क्योंकि बच्चों को सही रास्ते पर चलना सिखाया ही नहीं जाता।
My parents always encouraged me and I had a good home life. We were always taught to respect things and other people. It's so different today, because children are just not taught the right way.

मेरा उद्धार एक मुफ्त तोहफा था। मुझे इसके लिए कोई मेहनत नहीं करनी पड़ी और यह मेरे जीते हुए किसी भी स्वर्ण पदक से कहीं ज़्यादा बेहतर है।
My salvation was a free gift. I didn't have to work for it and it's better than any gold medal that I've ever won.

मेरी पसंदीदा स्पर्धा 200 मीटर थी, इसलिए जब मैंने 100 मीटर जीत ली, तो मुझे लगा कि मैं 200 मीटर भी जीत सकता हूँ।
My favourite event was the 200m, so as I won the 100m, I thought it was possible I'd win the 200m.

मैं जो भी ऐसा काम करता था जिसमें मेहनत लगती थी, मैं अपना मुँह खोल लेता था। यहाँ तक कि गेंद पकड़ने के लिए भी, मैं अपना मुँह खोल लेता था।
Everything I did that required effort, I opened my mouth. Even to catch a ball, I opened my mouth.

मुझे बहुत कम उम्र में ही यह एहसास हो गया था कि भगवान ने मुझे एक वरदान दिया है, और वह वरदान दौड़ने का था, और मैं अपनी पूरी क्षमता के साथ इसका इस्तेमाल करना चाहता था।
I realised from a very early age that God gave me a gift, and that gift was to run, and I wanted to use it to the best of my ability.

जब मैं दौड़ता था तो मुझे हमेशा एक आज़ादी का एहसास होता था। शायद यही बात इस खेल की सबसे अच्छी थी।
I always felt free when I ran. I suppose that's what was good about it.

मैंने कभी सपने में भी नहीं सोचा था कि मैं 100 मीटर की दौड़ जीत जाऊंगा।
No way did I ever think I was going to win the 100m.

एक स्टार बनने का सबसे ज़रूरी हिस्सा है जीतने की इच्छा। सभी चैंपियनों में यह खूबी होती है।
The integral part of being a star is having the will to win. All the champions have it.

सफलता पाने के लिए आपको किसी एक चीज़ पर तब तक डटे रहना होगा जब तक आप सफल न हो जाएं। मुझे लगता है कि सफलता पाने का यही एकमात्र तरीका है - किसी खास चीज़ पर पूरा ध्यान केंद्रित करना। एक बार जब आपको पता चल जाए कि आपको क्या करना है, तो आप ज़रूर सफल होंगे।
You've got to stick at a thing, a particular thing, until you succeed. I feel that's the only way to succeed - by concentrating on something in particular. Once you know what you've got to do you will succeed, you will succeed.
