To this day, most people think of me as the fastest human. They don't really think me as a long jumper, although that's the event I had more success in.

I was probably in the best shape of any athlete at the time, but you don't get to pass judgment on yourself.

I can't do much about my height, but I can do a lot of things in strength and speed and work on that. I'm going to try to do that the best I can to make me a better ballplayer.

I'm not the best athlete.

As an athlete, I used my speed, agility and quickness to go out and play against the big guys.

Just kidding, I've been very athletic all my life.

I played high school basketball at six feet, then I went to 5-11 in my 50's, and then, bang, I went down to 5-9.

In high school and college, I was an athlete.

I was an athlete when I was growing up.

I'm not athletic.
