When they announce who I am and what I've achieved, I still pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming.
I never - in my dreams, doing track in high school, I didn't imagine it would turn out like this.
I just trust in God, work hard, and focus on executing.
I'm getting tired of 10.7s. I just want to put a good race together, and hopefully in the next race, I get the time I'm working for. I definitely think a 10.6 is there. Hopefully I will get it together.
I'm a professional athlete - one who's supposed to set examples - so whatever it is I put in my body, it's up to me to take responsibility for it, and I have done that.
I live my life very clean and transparent - so I have nothing to hide.
If anyone wants to ask a question or to suggest something, I'm always open.
I don't think I could survive in cold places.
Being in Jamaica, I feel comfortable there.
What has happened is just cases of athletes neglecting to correctly check the supplement they've had. It's not like they are deliberately or intentionally cheating.
I grew up in poverty and my mother had to sacrifice a lot for us to eat and get an education - just imagine in a house where we were more than six children! But hard work and dedication is what it took for me to be here today.
Everybody talks about Bolt. Now they can talk about the ladies who are running some really wonderful times.
I enjoy running in Doha. The stadium is close and intimate, which makes you feel connected with the fans.
The 200 m. is the event I want to get better at.
There will always be a lot of pressure to cope with.
There are still many things to work on - the start, the transition, the finish. I am not just going to sit around and wait.
I don't know much about the history of track and field, but I know Gail Devers.
I am one of those athletes who is very hard on myself.
My coach and I will have these arguments where I am in pain or something is wrong, and I won't tell him because I feel like I need to train. We have a blow-up of arguments, and he says, 'Shelly, you need to tell me when these things are happening.'
It's hard to judge how you are feeling physically.
