A Race Is A Work Of Art.

I Can Endure More Pain Then Anyone You've Met. That's Why I Win, Because I Can Endure More Pain.

I'm Going To Work So That It's A Pure Guts Race At The End, And If It Is, I Am The Only One Who Can Win It.

The Idea Of Losing The Three At Hayward Field And The Idea Of Losing My Specialty To Someone Who Wasn't Running His Specialty. Mostly, The Idea Of Losing In Front Of My People. They Haven't Forgotten About Me.

How Does A Kid From Coos Bay, With One Leg Longer Than The Other Win Races? All My Life People Have Been Telling Me, 'you're Too Small Pre', 'you're Not Fast Enough Pre', 'give Up Your Foolish Dream Steve'. But They Forgot Something, I Have To Win.

Kids Made Fun Of Me Because I Was A Slow Learner, Because I Was Hyperactive, Because Of A Lot Of Things. Running Gave Me Confidence.
