If I get to be a legend, I've achieved my goal.
I have dedicated my life to the 200m, I really love the 200m a lot.
Every season, for me, it's like starting from scratch again.
Messi or Cristiano - Speed? Cristiano. Shot? Cristiano. Dribbling? Messi. Intelligence? Messi. Talent? Messi. Winner is Messi!
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.
People always say I'm a legend, but I'm not. Not until I've defended my Olympic titles. That's when I've decided I'll be a legend.
There are things that bother me. I try not to let them, but they do.
My relationship with everyone in Jamaica is good.
I've got everything I wanted so I'm just happy.
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.
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
The important thing was that I got the win. It's good for confidence and the season.
I have to move on now as there is no point to dwell on the past. I have a few days to refocus and get ready for the 200 meters on Friday. After this I have the 4×100-meter and a few other races before the end of the season.
Where I'm from, there is no violence, pretty much.
