I'm obsessive. I want to know the answer to how good I am. Most people aren't.

You can be an Olympic champion in 9.5 secs, but to be the greatest, there's more to it. It takes a bit of forethought and a lot of mental application.

I tend to eat vegetables only when I'm with the kids and the rest of the time, I'm a bit slack. But, I am weight-conscious, so I concentrate on avoiding junk food.

In my heart of hearts my motivation would always have been to be the best, and I think that athletics is probably what I was built for.

I am an education ambassador, mainly working with schools.

The decathlon takes so long to learn that people who are good athletes don't want to go back to the beginning again.

I don't even have my own computer.
