When I'm racing, I'm thinking about my own race. I'm not thinking about anybody.
We are going to help the young talented athletes become world champions.
We all know that we Africans just win medals in middle and long distance, and walking in their footsteps makes me feel proud, you know.
To me, I can be famous in sports. But to me, I cannot say it means a lot to be famous. Being famous is something I don't like.
To me I don't think sport is something that I can take for life. I still have my academy, my studies.
Times don't matter but medals matter.
Running is just a game to me.
My family's support system is fantastic.
It's good to be well known. Everywhere I go it's the same thing - autographs, pictures.
It's all about the hard work, knowing your strengths and weaknesses. You work on what you know you can do best. I have speed.
If someone was born the way she was born, are you going to blame him, or are you going to blame God? Whose fault is that? Nobody's.
If I'm at my best, I feel I must win gold all the time.
If I win gold, I will dedicate it to Nelson Mandela. He is a hero in South Africa, and everything I do, I do for him.
I've never bought my own clothes - my mum buys them for me.
I've always liked to be on my own, since I was young. I like the sound of a quiet place. It helps me focus.
God made me the way I am, and I accept myself. I am who I am, and I'm proud of myself.
I'm the kind of person who doesn't really focus on more negativity. I'm a positive person, and I look at things in a positive way.
I don't have rights. Let's put it this way in athletics, I don't have rights.
I have been subjected to unwarranted and invasive scrutiny of the most intimate and private details of my being.
I'd like to dress up more often and wear dresses, but I never get the chance. I'd also like to learn to do my own makeup.
I really don't have time for nonsense.
I'm supposed to be famous, but I don't think I like it so much.
I am of the firm view that there is no impediment to me competing in athletics competitions.
I don't understand when you say I'm a man or I have a deep voice. I know I'm a female, so there's no question for me.
I gave up soccer. But I don't think I can ever stop running.
I want to give myself new challenges. I want to get better.
