More quotes by Carl Lewis
I'm a businessman and actor and I still make appearances.
Carl Lewis
It's all about the journey, not the outcome.
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 want to be a millionaire, and I don't ever want a real job.
Carl Lewis
I wouldn't be surprised if one day Carl's halo slipped and choked him.
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
I work with the Carl Lewis Foundation focusing on youth from high school down.
Carl Lewis
I'm not running for state Senate because I wanted to become a politician. I'm running because I wanted to serve.
Carl Lewis
Whether I'm 40, 50 or 60, I'm going to be as physically strong as I am able.
Carl Lewis

Carl Lewis
I always separated sports and my personal life.
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
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
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
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
'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 never competed against athletes. I competed against perfection.
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
My best year of track competition was the first year I ate a vegan diet.
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
