Asafa Powell quotes:

Many track and field people know that if I stay relaxed and run my race like I'm supposed to, I will be the winner at the Olympic Games.

Over the years I have been kind of lazy, thinking my talent alone can do it.

From Day 1 I wasn't planning to run until I am very old.

Sometimes I'm at home and I remember I'm supposed to do 100 push-ups and I don't.

I think about cars to try and distract myself. It's a good way to relax, take your mind off everything.

From Day 1 I wasnt planning to run until I am very old.

Athletes try to get other athletes out and they should have no false starts.

I want to be the king of sprints because I think I am.

I just want to give my best in London, I want to cross that line and see a personal best on the clock then I will see what position I am in.

I know, I'm like a kid. Maybe I was a bit too spoilt growing up. Everything just came like I wanted it to.

I am trying to attend every training session and do all of my workouts.

I should just stay composed and run to the finish line.

I'm ready to win.

I can run sub-10 any time but I'm just not ready.

It makes me feel like a brother, or a son that people still care for me... that I have so many fans, who write to me and share with me that I am loved and have been an inspiration. My Dear Fans This I Promise I Will Never Forget. One Love!

I am still the fastest man on earth.

I am a bit different from the other sprinters because, I would say, I can run many different ways while the other guys they just came on and they can only run one way.

Everyone is looking for me to bring a gold back home, and a lot of people in other places are expecting me to win.

I said to myself, if I was in the race, I know I would have won.
