I'm certain I can be the fastest in the world.
If anybody wants to beat me, let them run a world record.
I'm betting 100,000 that I'm the fastest man on the planet.
I could be the quickest man on the planet.
My favourite event was the 200m, so as I won the 100m, I thought it was possible I'd win the 200m.
When we race in London a world record will be the last thing on our minds.
I always wanted to be a sprinter.
There are guys out there faster than me.
Fantastic, I am very happy to be the fastest 800 metres runner in the world.
I want to run as fast as I can.
Ultimately, you've got to answer your critics on the track, and I am very much hoping 8.41m is acceptable for people.
I ran track, and I was really good at it. I was really fast.
I believe I can outrun most everyone.
It means a lot to be considered the fastest in the United States.
If you put me against most sprinters in the world, I reckon over a start I could get very close, if not take them.
Hurdling, sprinting, athletics in general, is always in the back of your mind.
This is what I wanted. They tell me that London is the best field in history. I wanted to be part of that. Because everyone will be there it will be a wonderful challenge for me. You can see the best runners, how they look, how they run. For me to beat the best is what counts.
Beating John Landy was my defining race.
I started running track when I was 13 years old, as a freshman in high school. I ran the 400 meters, which is a very tough race and a full sprint.
I was playing rugby and the other games English school children do, and there was an event in which races were run, and I won these by a considerable margin.
We may train or peek for a certain race, but running is a lifetime sport.
The world record will come to me when I run the world record race. I'm just trying to perfect my race. I'm looking for perfection.
I ski fast for me, first and foremost, and I ski fast for my family, and it's always the love that gets me to the podium.
You can't ever make the perfect run, but you can make the best run, and then you clock the fastest time, and that's a win.
My goal in Korea is to win. There's no timetable when to set the American record.
I was really happy with my race, though. I beat my personal best by 1.2 seconds.
