Usain Bolt

I can't watch a [Floyd] Mayweather fight. I don't find it exciting. I used to watch boxing in the [Michael] Tyson era when it was exciting. Now it's all bob and weave, a punch here and there. It is not entertaining.

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 am now a legend. I am also the greatest athlete to live.

For me he (Tendulkar) is one of the greatest cricketers

I can't really live outside Jamaica. I can be away, but only for a while.

I think my acceleration is very good. That's the key for me.

Once a year I will clean my room, just because I feel I should.

Sometimes you lose sight of what's going on around you.

It's a great feat for me to have broken my world record.

I don't put myself under pressure.

Where I'm from, there is no violence, pretty much.

I would rather be lying in a bed than changing one.

My coach told me if I broke the national record for the 200, I could run a 100.

I wouldn't say I'm a phenomenon, just a great athlete.

Track and field was very big when I was growing up.

I don't know the history of my sport. I'm not like those people who know everything.

It's always a wake-up call to get beaten.

You can't really give away anything in your book ... should be exciting, it's my life, and I'm a cool and exciting guy.

I can still improve a lot, but there is definitely a limit to what the human body can do.

There are so many Jamaican people here in London, it's going to be like being at home for me.

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.

When I was young, I didn't really think about anything other than sports.

Racing comes easily to me, especially the 100 metres. That is why, no matter how fast I run the run the 100 metres, the 200 will always mean more to me, because of the effort I've put in.

I try to lead by example.

As long as I'm in good shape, you'll always see me smiling.

I know what I can do, so I never doubt myself.

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 want to thank GOD for everything he as done for me cause without him none of this wouldn't be possible.

Believe in your dreams and that anything is possible.

But if I keep my core and back strong, the scoliosis doesn't really bother me.
