I must say I've always composed music from the point of view of the performers. ↗

Thank you to everyone that has made me the athlete I am! God, family and friends, my competitors and supporters! You have all had a hand! ↗

Everyone has setbacks. I'm no different. I happen to have no legs. That's pretty much the fact. ↗

I don't see myself as disabled. There's nothing I can't do that able-bodied athletes can do. ↗

I don't want to be competing in a sport where I feel that I'm here not on my talent and my hard work but because of a piece of equipment. ↗

I still find it strange, I suppose, when I say to someone, 'Can you just pass me my leg?' But I don't ever think about my disability. ↗

I like to keep my money at the end of the day. ↗

I want to wake up every day and feel that I'm training harder than my competitors, that I'm dieting harder, that I'm recovering better. That's what gives me confidence when I'm lining up on the blocks. I've never gone out to prove people wrong. I just want to be the best that I can possibly be. ↗

I wasn't happy with my performance at the World Championships in Daegu. I had an unbelievable race in the heats, but misjudged the semi and finished last. ↗

My parents didn't give me any scope to feel sorry for myself. They were just like 'go play with your brother, go climb a tree, go fall off your motorbike, do whatever you want. Don't come crying to us when you get scratched. You've got prosthetic legs - that's very nice.' ↗
