I'm 34, and I'll be the oldest sprinter ever on a podium. I'm just happy to be here.
I’m already happy with who I am. My job is just to get on the podium.
Whenever I was on the podium, it felt weird. I was obviously happy to have done well, but it wasn't truly happy from the bottom of my heart.
I'm happy if everybody else is. I'm a big brother, the oldest. If you're happy and I'm not, I'm cool with that. If I'm happy and you're not, I'm sad.
In some ways, that's the story of my season - when I wasn't making big mistakes, I was winning races and being on the podium. And when I made mistakes I was still fourth or fifth, just off the podium.
I'm the youngest of six kids, and when a you're living in such a big family, you never really become an adult, and I'm so happy about that. At my 34, I think, "Even if I end up becoming a dad or something down the road, I don't think I'm ever going to be an adult. I'll just be a kid raising a kid.".
I just turned 34 and feel like the best striker I've ever been.
I've always been a sprinter, I'm muscular. If you put me next to the average sprinter, I would fit in a lot more. But against the Paralympic side, I always feel really big.
We give the podium to a lot of people who shouldn't have the podium. The message that's delivered the loudest and in the most entertaining way is the one that we're going to put on because that's what we want. We want ratings more than we want to deliver information. That's just where the culture's gotten.
I cried when I turned 34 for no other reason than 34 sounded old to me at the time.
I did successfully kick tobacco at the age of 34. I smoked for like 20 years, from 14 to 34.
I am pretty pleased. I will be on the Olympic podium, so you can't be more happy.
I don't want to be a celebrity athlete. When you are, there's this pressure on you. It's like you have this halo over your head and have to walk on eggshells. That's not for me. All that glamour builds up a false sense of ego. It's not needed. I'm already happy with who I am. My job is just to get on the podium.
Aborigines are not just the oldest race in Australia; they are the oldest race on the planet. They look like dinosaurs.
I'm 34 - you guys are like, 'oh, he can't be this fast at 34.' But 35, I plan on running even faster. That's my plan.
I think animation is like running a marathon, and making a movie is like a 100 meter sprint. The question is: are you a marathon man or are you a sprinter? I realized that I was more of a sprinter than a marathon man. With a long, long project, I get bored easily.
When I was 14, I was the oldest I ever was. I've been getting younger ever since.
