I Like To Make Something

No One Will Ever Win A 5,000-meter By Running An Easy Two Miles. Not Against Me.

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.

Something Inside Of Me Just Said 'hey, Wait A Minute, I Want To Beat Him,' And I Just Took Off.

A Race Is A Work Of Art That People Can Look At And Be Affected In As Many Ways They're Capable Of Understanding.

When People Go To A Track Meet, They're Looking For Something, A World Record, Something That Hasn't Been Done Before. You Get All This Magnetic Energy, People Focusing On One Thing At The Same Time. I Really Get Excited About It. It Makes Me Want To Compete Even More. It Makes It All Worthwhile, All The Hours Of Hard Work.
