Quote

I think sometimes, when you're on top and all you do is win, win, win, win, win, you get lazy and lose focus. When you lose it opens your eyes and you get serious. There is always a time when it is good to lose, at the right time for you.

Rio would be my last Olympics.

Each training session I'm getting better and better. I have no other duties now, no worries, it's all about training, eating and sleeping. I have a lot more time and can put a lot more effort into training. I'm feeling better every day. As long as I'm feeling myself I'm definitely in no doubt I can go to the Olympics and win.

I've learned over the years that if you start thinking about the race, it stresses you out a little bit. I just try to relax and think about video games, what I'm gonna do after the race, what I'm gonna do just to chill. Stuff like that to relax a little before the race.

Since they came in with the selfie, it's the worst thing. You hardly ever get asked for autographs any more. It's always selfies.

One of the things we're trying to do more of is not just take money from corporate partnerships, but get more involved in the business side for when I retire. So Puma are going to make me an ambassador for life. I have a clothing line coming out. I am investing a lot in housing in Jamaica, buildings for rent.

For me, I'm focused on what I want to do. I know what I need to do to be a champion, so I'm working on it.

I really want to try soccer after I retire because I've watched football over the years and I think I could be a good contender.

The hard part for me is rest. I am a person who stays up late. If I go to bed early, I don't sleep, but I know I have to rest. That is always a struggle for me.

Unfortunately, I don't usually get to see much outside the Olympics as I compete almost every day. I have been to Rio a few times and got a tour of the sites. It is a spectacular city.

I stay as far away from politics as possible, or any controversy.

Sleep is extremely important to me - I need to rest and recover in order for the training I do to be absorbed by my body.

I don't have a clue. These things don't bother me. I think about the technical stuff but not how many steps or what my heart rate is.

Manners is the key thing. Say, for instance, when you're growing up, you're walking down the street, you've got to tell everybody good morning. Everybody. You can't pass one person.

The older I get, the less I am bothered by talk like that. I have total faith in my coach Yohan Blake, total faith.

I try to live my life to the best, but I just always preach that you should just work hard and do your best.
