More quotes by Carl Lewis
Our message of the day is service does not need a title.
Carl Lewis
To this day, most people think of me as the fastest human. They don't really think me as a long jumper, although that's the event I had more success in.
Carl Lewis
Channel your energy. Focus.
Carl Lewis
An athlete and actor are really two different temperaments, night and day. As an athlete you really keep things out and as an actor you really bring things in.
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
You can't live your life through your children.
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
It's all about the journey, not the outcome.
Carl Lewis
When I run - you can see my record - I run to win.
Carl Lewis
I always separated sports and my personal life.
Carl Lewis
I'm a businessman and actor and I still make appearances.
Carl Lewis
Scientists have proven that it's impossible to long-jump 30 feet, but I don't listen to that kind of talk. Thoughts like that have a way of sinking into your feet.
Carl Lewis
Join me in the final race to smash poverty and achieve the UN Millennium Development Goals
Carl Lewis
I want to be a millionaire, and I don't ever want a real job.
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
'm so fortunate to have done what I love to do for so long, but the day I retired was one of the best days of my life. Not because I was happy to get away from the sport, but because it was clear in my mind that I had done all I possibly could, and that it was time to go.
Carl Lewis
I don't intend to stay around any longer than I feel I can be No. 1.
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
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
When I decided to go for four gold medals I planned it out over a few years. It was in four different events and there was a lot to it.
