“Difficult as it was to hear, slavery has benefited descendants like me...” — Michael Johnson Quote

“Difficult as it was to hear, slavery has benefited descendants like me - I believe there is a superior athletic gene in us.”

“I don't always do a lot of predicting, but, when I get a really strong feeling about something, I will tell people.”

“There's a complete difference between training for a specific event and goal and just training.”

“Independent of the strength implications, baseball, like most athletic events, is a game of feeling capable of handling the current challenge.”

“I'm not the fastest, the strongest, the most athletic, the tallest. But in order for me to be good at what I do, I have to focus on my craft so much that it alleviates those other things. I can't have personal relationships like other people do. I can't spend time on that.”

“I'm a tomboy myself and have always been incredibly athletic.”
