“I like being unconventional.” — Florence Griffith Joyner Quote

“I like being unconventional.”

“I love working with kids, talking with them and listening to them. I always encourage kids to reach beyond their dreams. Don't try to be like me. Be better than me.”

“To do justice to a lifelong dream of being a writer, I must give it the intense concentration and focus I gave to track. To do both with excellence is not possible. It is with a sense of sadness and joyous anticipation that I leave track and move on.”

“I guess I had what you could call an unconventional upbringing.”

“My childhood was very unconventional in a lot of ways.”

“If one looks at my choices, all of them have been unconventional. There's not a single song-and-dance or romantic film.”
