There's always going to be somebody who takes a dislike to you and you can't waste time worrying about it.

You can't magic yourself back 10 years.

I have been doing 120 miles a week, when normally I would do about 140.

You can be strong and true to yourself without being rude or loud.

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 don't feel guilty in having pleasure!

I am not driven by any bitterness by what happened in Athens. I learnt a lot of lessons from it and probably came through it a stronger person in the end. There have been a lot of near misses, and that's taught me to keep persevering and that there is a chance it can come right.
