More quotes by 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
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.

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.

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
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
It's all about the journey, not the outcome.
Carl Lewis
I enjoy my life, I love track, I'm set for life financially.
Carl Lewis
The best kids are going to become the best. But the best thing about it is that you're going to learn lessons in playing those sports about winning and losing and teamwork and teammates and arguments and everything else that are going to affect you positively for the rest of your life.
Carl Lewis
Whether I'm 40, 50 or 60, I'm going to be as physically strong as I am able.
Carl Lewis
Our message of the day is service does not need a title.
Carl Lewis
By carrying the torch, you will be bridging cultural and social barriers, and all the boundaries that separate nation from nation.
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 found the emotion that as an athlete you block out, and it really helped me to understand myself as a person. I'm a really emotional person and it helped make me a better person.
Carl Lewis
