More quotes by 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
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 know there are a lot of people out there who have the best intentions but not the voice, so it's about people like me to give them a voice and hear their ideas.

Carl Lewis
It's all about the journey, not the outcome.
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.

I wouldn't be surprised if one day Carl's halo slipped and choked him.
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
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
Life is about timing and overcoming difficult things.
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
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
Whether I'm 40, 50 or 60, I'm going to be as physically strong as I am able.
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
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'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
I always wanted to be wealthy. I did.
