Life is about timing and overcoming difficult things.
Carl Lewis
My best year of track competition was the first year I ate a vegan diet.
Carl Lewis
It's all about the journey, not the outcome.
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
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
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
At the end of the day, if you're a professional athlete in track and field you are the CEO of your company.

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
You can't live your life through your children.
Carl Lewis
I always wanted to be wealthy. I did.
Carl Lewis
I work with the Carl Lewis Foundation focusing on youth from high school down.
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
I never competed against athletes. I competed against perfection.
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
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
