Dwight Phillips Quotations

I would have liked for someone to have challenged me and jumped a little bit closer so that I could jump farther, unfortunately that didn't happen,

I wanted to break the world record, but the conditions did not allow that.

It feels good being back home. This is what it's all about - coming back to where you start and performing in front of the crowd.

It's in me physically, ... I just have to put myself in a state of mind where I'm capable of setting a world record.

It was me, and then everybody else against each other, so it's kind of difficult .

It's very hard to jump when you're not pressured.

I t's very important to have a rival in any event. I think,it's more exciting if you have two or three or four people challenging each other.

This second world championship gold feels great, ... Now my next goal is to break the world record. I have promised Mike Powell (world record holder) to break it. In the following competitions that is the only thing I am concentrating on.

I get my confidence from winning, just kicking my opponents' butts every time, ... That makes me feel good and I get a lot of joy in that.

In some type of way, I always feel like I'm getting overshadowed. But I did win tonight, and I do feel like I'm capable of breaking this world record. Somewhere, this year, that's my goal is to break the world record.
