Marion Jones Quotations

Our lives are so hectic and full, and we have a big family right now.

I was only 24 then, but 18 of those 24 years had been dedicated to wanting to get to that moment.

We just had to keep our composure and play as a team and we couldn't go wrong. We were down 10, came back and proved that we're the champions.

About two weeks after he was born, I got back and started jogging and running. Now I'm full blast and I hope to make my return pretty soon.

I'm not going to make those predictions anymore. I'm 27 now and I've learned from my mistakes.

I'm for a drug-free sport and always will be.

In my opinion, Jackie is the greatest female athlete ever.

A lot of women say they love being pregnant, but I wasnt such a big fan.

I like cooking - I make a good stir-fry and the family likes it when I make stewed chicken and macaroni and cheese.

I'm a jock and I'm an athlete, and that's what I love to do.

I train so hard to make sure failure doesn't happen. If I do everything I can, and run as fast as I possibly can and someone still beats me, I don't think of that as failure.

I did pretty well at the Sydney Olympics, but those were my first Games.

I've set no world record.

My father wasn't really involved and my mom is the light in my life.

I loved having my baby inside of me, but I was very happy when he was finally here.

My career has always been one of the most important things, but after having a baby you find that it drops down on the totem pole.

When I'm home, I'm relaxed.

The ultimate would be to compete in a couple more Olympics, hopefully break some world records and wind up my sports career with a couple of years in the WNBA.

I will continue to express the fact I am for a drug-free sport and always will be.

You forget that sometimes people are out there to get you - they don't even have a reason

I'm an Internet junkie.

We realized that the only persons we can truly trust in this world is each other and our families.

I think the people who have really followed my career from the time I was seven years old can see my steady progress and see the type of person and athlete I am.

Love is not about two people doing things similar. It is about two people doing things differently to cover one another's flaws, and making it a perfect whole.

But I don't believe in guilt by association.

As a child I was very involved with sports and I knew at age 9 that I wanted to be an Olympic champion.

Get involved in everything you've ever dreamed of doing.

Nobody has ever said anything about Marion Jones every using performance-enhancing drugs and they never will

I've never worked a day in my life. Don't get me wrong. I work at track. If you love what you do, it's not work.

Greatness is defined by someone who is not simply awesome and wonderful in the sport they compete in but goes beyond that and is great in whatever they do off the track or off the court.

I recognize that by saying that I'm deeply sorry, it might not be enough and sufficient to address the pain and the hurt that I have caused you. Therefore, I want to ask for your forgiveness for my actions, and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.

I train harder than anyone else in the world. Last year I was supposed to take a month off and I took three days off because I was afraid somebody out there was training harder. That's the feeling I go through every day - Am I not doing what somebody else is doing? Is someone out there training harder than I am? I can't live with myself if someone is.

I am against performance-enhancing drugs. I have never taken them and I never will take them.

It's hard to have a bad hair day when you're famous

All he did was fight for the rights of his black fellow musicians for them not to be ripped off.
