Brainy Quotes references that:

Pistorius once said "I want to wake up every day and feel that I'm training harder, that I'm dieting harder, that I'm recovering better. That's is what gives me confidence when I'm lining up on the blocks. I've never gone out to prove people wrong. I just want to be the best that i can possibly be."
