I don't really know anything about my dad. I don't really know too much about his background. He's Jamaican and Jamaicans are usually more athletic. You've seen Usain Bolt.
The creative process is not like a situation where you get struck by a single lightning bolt. You have ongoing discoveries, and there's ongoing creative revelations. Yes, it's really helpful to be marching toward a specific destination, but, along the way, you must allow yourself room for your ideas to blossom, take root, and grow.
Before, when Bolt was in the race, it was about who's going to get second. You just come and want to watch Bolt run, it's always exciting because you know he always puts on a show.
I won't say I'm the new Usain Bolt, I'm the new Christian Coleman.
I knew I would be running with so many people watching all over the world because of him. People love Bolt. He has many fans out there because of his great achievements and breaking world records in Olympics. I've done the same and it's a great honour. I'm happy and I'm happy for him.
Often, in books, I find female power to be cartoonish - power is a process, an evolution - it has responsibilities. It's not as simple as picking up your lightning bolt and throwing it at someone.
