More quotes by 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

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
Channel your energy. Focus.

Carl Lewis
You can't live your life through your children.
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
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
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
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
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
Life is about timing and overcoming difficult things.
Carl Lewis
Our message of the day is service does not need a title.
