More quotes by 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
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
Whether I'm 40, 50 or 60, I'm going to be as physically strong as I am able.

'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 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
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'm very serious about becoming a dramatic actor. I don't want to play cameo parts walking on as Carl Lewis the athlete. I want to go on stage or screen and be taken seriously.
Carl Lewis
After I left the podium in Atlanta, I felt so fulfilled in my career that I lost my desire to compete at that level again.
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
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.
Carl Lewis
Channel your energy. Focus.
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 always separated sports and my personal life.
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
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
I never competed against athletes. I competed against perfection.
Carl Lewis
Life is about timing and overcoming difficult things.
Carl Lewis
I always wanted to be wealthy. I did.
