I apologise to people when I need to.

The biggest danger is trying to put too much pressure on yourself, trying to get in too good shape.

I've always been good at putting things behind me–I fall apart, do my crying bit, and then put it away and move on.

I took a lot of bad things after Athens. I just learnt to deal with it. The problem was beforehand I had this feeling where I was trying to please everybody - I wanted everybody to like me.

I can't imagine living and not running.

In the marathon anything can happen.

I have not had the chance to go out there and do myself justice in an Olympic marathon yet. I have not been able to get to an Olympic marathon injury-free yet.
