“Parents with a West Indian background tend to be more strict.” — Denise Lewis Quote

“Parents with a West Indian background tend to be more strict.”

“I fell in love with athletics watching the 1980 Moscow Olympics, aged seven. I thought: 'These people aren't human, they're immortal.'”

“My mum is a perfect example of agelessness.”

“My parents were very, very, very strict.”

“We had a very strict upbringing.”

“My father was strict and always taught me, no matter who it is, everybody is an uncle. To me, everybody was someone I respect like family. I grew up with that.”
