I know that I wasn't bred to be an Olympian. I didn't start running until high school, and I just stumbled upon to.

Parents have to understand, that even if their child isn't showing athletic excellence in a certain sport, they still need to be involved. They don't need to be involved in a military type of setting, they just need to get out and play and enjoy themselves and find it themselves.

My mom always has this amazing ability to always see the best in a situation.

For me, my faith is the reason I run. I definitely feel I have this amazing gift that God has blessed me with, and it's all about using it to the best of my ability.

I never let track define me. That's something that's really important to me.

I myself am frustrated in just where sports are at. It's a hard thing when you're out there working every day, and you know that someone else is cheating and they may not necessarily get caught.

I'm always nervous. If I wasn't nervous, it would be weird. I get the same feeling at all the big races. It's part of the routine, and I accept it. It means I'm there and I'm ready.
Allyson Felix
Before a race, I block out what's going on in the stadium. It's different for everyone. But for me, I've always been able to block it out. For a sprint race, it's important not to get distracted.
Allyson Felix
I definitely think I put more pressure on myself. I can be hard on myself and super-critical and very rarely satisfied or happy. I am my biggest critic.
Allyson Felix
I think every genius person has a bit of insanity.
Allyson Felix
I feel like my name completely does not belong on that list [of great athlets], but I'm completely grateful for everything that they [Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Florence Griffith-Joyner and even Wilma Rudolph] have done.
Allyson Felix
I was a disruptive child.
Allyson Felix
The most important lesson that I have learned is to trust God in every circumstance. Lots of times we go through different trials and following God's plan seems like it doesn't make any sense at all. God is always in control and he will never leave us.

Right now I'd say my favorite fashion designer is Zac Posen.

I grew up in a Christian home with amazing parents.

I feel like I'm always going to be me. It always goes back to being the person that I am. And I hope that will never change.
