When people contact me on Instagram or Facebook, kids and adults, who say, You're an inspiration. You make me want to work hard to achieve my goals. If I can still do that after I retire that makes me feel good.

More quotes by Usain Bolt
Surprisingly, maybe the place I get recognised the least is the United States. America is not so big on track and field. Some recognise me there but lots don't.
Usain Bolt
If you feel strongly about something and you want to voice your opinion, I feel it's your right, so, that's how I look at it because that's how life is.
Usain Bolt
I can still improve a lot, but there is definitely a limit to what the human body can do.
Usain Bolt
I have to show who I am, play with the crowd, play with the camera. When people come to a race, part of it is the anticipation, What is he going to do?
Usain Bolt
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.
Usain Bolt
I was playing cricket first and my cricket coach was the one that introduced me to track and field.
Usain Bolt
I know what I can do, so I never doubt myself.
Usain Bolt
When I was younger I always wanted to impress, to be good for my country, to make them feel good, and sometimes that meant I didn't focus on myself enough. I learned I had to put myself first. And it's fine because I want for me the same thing that they want for me, which is to win.
Usain Bolt
It was not perfect but I'm very happy. It could have been better, but I'm now looking forward to my second race of the season.
Usain Bolt
We Jamaicans are not so much stressed about time, you know, but you have to stay on top of it. And, of course, on the track, every time we go on the track, it is all about the seconds and the fractions of a second that count.
Usain Bolt
I don't think limits.
Usain Bolt
But anybody who steps into the lane beside you is the biggest competition because they made it to the finals.
Usain Bolt
If I can stay [involved] with the sport, we can find different ways to motivate people and preach to them and explain to them that all they need is dedication to the sport.
Usain Bolt
When I played football, I liked being a goalkeeper or a midfielder. I was probably better at cricket. I would be a very good cricketer if I was a professional now. I think I would probably have been the best, in fact.
Usain Bolt
In Jamaica, you learn as a child how to roll a joint. Everyone here has tried it. I did too
Usain Bolt
The important thing was that I got the win. It's good for confidence and the season.
Usain Bolt
I just want to push the barriers and see what I can do and how far I can go. I am just determined and driven.
Usain Bolt
I always support Argentina. I watched a lot of the European Championships but wasn't supporting one team. I knew some players in a few of the teams and was just seeing how they played. It was nice for Ronaldo to win with Portugal.
Usain Bolt
I looked up to Don Quarrie and Michael Johnson when I was younger. They were the best in the 200m which was my main event growing up.
Usain Bolt
I stay as far away from politics as possible, or any controversy.
