My life isn't interesting! It's my mom. You need to write her life and put me in it. I'm a cameo in her life.
Carl Lewis
Most people want to become movie stars and I just want to be in the business. I already was a star. If I get the part of a lifetime and it blows up, then that's wonderful. But if the acting doesn't work, fine. I'll just be a producer. And if the producing doesn't work, fine. I've got a lot of other stuff.
Carl Lewis
When I run - you can see my record - I run to win.
Carl Lewis
I wouldn't be surprised if one day Carl's halo slipped and choked him.

By carrying the torch, you will be bridging cultural and social barriers, and all the boundaries that separate nation from nation.
Carl Lewis
I work with the Carl Lewis Foundation focusing on youth from high school down.
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
I enjoy my life, I love track, I'm set for life financially.
