Celebrities Usain Bolt, Birthday: 21 August 1986, Montego Bay, Jamaica

I don't put myself under pressure.

There are better starters than me but I'm a strong finisher.

I really don't have a favorite meal. I eat anything.

When people see your personality come out, they feel so good, like they actually know who you are.

If I get to be a legend, I've achieved my goal.

I think my acceleration is very good. That's the key for me.

My relationship with everyone in Jamaica is good.

If you think about racing too much you may just lose it a little bit.

Come on... when you're running, if you see you're going to win, you're going to celebrate.

I don't read a lot of books.

But if I keep my core and back strong, the scoliosis doesn't really bother me.

There are things that bother me. I try not to let them, but they do.

I know what to do and I go and execute.

Yeah, I am lazy. There's no doubt about that.

I don't know the history of my sport. I'm not like those people who know everything.

I wouldn't say I'm a phenomenon, just a great athlete.

I have matured a lot.

Where I'm from, there is no violence, pretty much.

I remember once, actually the first race I ran, I fell.

Once a year I will clean my room, just because I feel I should.

My name is Bolt, Lightning Bolt.

I don't think limits.

My brother is really, really slow.

I don't even like to go out onto the streets sometimes because I can't get anything done. People want pictures and autographs all the time. Show less «

I don't like losing anyways.

It's a great feat for me to have broken my world record.

If Queen Elizabeth knighthooded me and I would get the title Sir Usain Bolt. That sounds very nice.

I've learned over the years that if you start thinking about the race, it stresses you out a little bit. I just try to relax and think about video games, what I'm gonna do after the race, what I'm gonna do just to chill. Stuff like that to relax a little before the race. Show less «

You can get beat any day.

I was playing cricket first and my cricket coach was the one that introduced me to track and field.

As long as I'm in great shape, nobody beats me, for sure.

All I have to do is to work on transition and technique.

I like music a lot.

I would rather be lying in a bed than changing one.

I just love dancing.

Sometimes you lose sight of what's going on around you.

If you're the Olympic champion then they have to wait four more years to get you again.

Manners is the key thing. Say, for instance, when you're growing up, you're walking down the street, you've got to tell everybody good morning. Everybody. You can't pass one person. Show less «

I like to have fun, just stay relaxed.

Repeating is harder than anything else.

Track and field was very big when I was growing up.

My coach told me if I broke the national record for the 200, I could run a 100.

I don't think about records.

I will run against anybody.

Every season, for me, it's like starting from scratch again.

People like to see showdowns.

It's always a wake-up call to get beaten.

I can't really live outside Jamaica. I can be away, but only for a while.

I'd like to say to all my fans out there, thanks for the support. And to all my doubters, thank you very much because you guys have also pushed me. Show less «

A lot of legends, a lot of people, have come before me. But this is my time.

I work hard, and I do good, and I'm going to enjoy myself. I'm not going to let you restrict me.

My hunger is always there.

I try to lead by example.
