Famous quote from Evelyn Ashford

When I'm running fast, I don't feel anything, it's effortless, it's like my feet don't even touch the ground, it's like I'm flying.

I take pride in everything I do. I don't want to be handed anything. I want to earn it.

I was single-minded and I had tunnel vision. Now it's time for a change.

Before me, sprinters retired at 23 or 24. I run because I still like it, I can make a living, and I feel I was born to do it. And because people tell me I can't do it.
