Early Quote by Colin Jackson
“I think I'm naturally irresponsible because when I was a young athlete I was successful quite early in my career and everything came too easily to me. I soon found that if I was out with 10 people for dinner in a restaurant, I would be the person picking up the bill. It would happen often and I liked the power of it.”
