Very rarely do you have a perfect race, and it's about overcoming your mistakes in the race and remaining composed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every race is not perfect; there are obviously a lot of things I can improve on at the end of the race.
That is an important part of my success. Another big part of my success is that I hated not to finish a race.
I am always nervous before the start of a race. It helps me to say to myself to try my very best. That is my commitment. No matter how bad it gets, I will try my hardest.
Every single thing in my life is built around race.
I have never won a race, and that is my main disappointment - but you have to be positive.
I've lost a lot more races than I've ever won... it's all part of the journey, really.
I save the race for the race and I don't let it all out in practice.
Overall my race hasn't been a problem. I'm a Black artist with White skin. At the end of the day you have to sing what's in your own soul.
Any person I idolise, or I really admire their work, I want to beat them... For me, going through my years, I made sure to idolise myself... So when you're in a race, you have to make sure that you think you are the favourite to win. You have to have that confidence.
I never though much about race.
