Life is about timing and overcoming difficult things.
Carl Lewis

Carl Lewis
I tell you, it was kind of two-fold. I fortunately had a lot of support. My coach was amazing - he told me to focus on being prepared and that is what I did. Every athlete is nervous - any athlete who tells you they're not nervous isn't telling you the truth. I was as prepared as I could be.
Carl Lewis

Carl Lewis
I'm very serious about becoming a dramatic actor. I don't want to play cameo parts walking on as Carl Lewis the athlete. I want to go on stage or screen and be taken seriously.
Carl Lewis
You're not going to get a chance to vote for me on the ballot, but you can actually vote for what I believe in.
Carl Lewis
Whether I'm 40, 50 or 60, I'm going to be as physically strong as I am able.
Carl Lewis
You can't live your life through your children.
Carl Lewis
I don't feel I'm qualified to be a coach outside the high school level. I think I would need to do more education to really be a good coach.
Carl Lewis
Track and field is the best way to reach out for kids. It doesn't matter how fast you are. You always want to beat someone.
Carl Lewis
My best year of track competition was the first year I ate a vegan diet.

Carl Lewis
