Carl Lewis
It's all about the journey, not the outcome.
Carl Lewis
Life is about timing and overcoming difficult things.
Carl Lewis
Amateurism is the strongest form of discrimination in sports. Because it discriminates against the underprivileged, it discriminates against the poor. If we want sports to go back to the wealthy, let's make it amateur again.
Carl Lewis
My best year of track competition was the first year I ate a vegan diet.
Carl Lewis
I want to be a millionaire, and I don't ever want a real job.
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
I'm a fast learner. I may not run as fast as I used to, but I think I still learn as fast.
Carl Lewis
I'm not a coach and I know it. I'm too busy and it doesn't pay. I'm expensive. But I would always advise.
Carl Lewis
I always separated sports and my personal life.
Carl Lewis
