I am not going to let Athens affect the rest of my life.

I apologise to people when I need to.

An Olympic medal won't define my whole life, although it might look like it to onlookers. When I look back, I should have been able to get an Olympic medal.

Actually I don't choose to expose myself in public. I choose to compete; the other side just comes with the package.

I have always run as hard as I can. You are not going to run any harder with or without men. You are running on your own two feet.

At big championships it's not the fastest person, it's the person who gets it right on the day.

I start planning then that's dangerous because then I have a target that I'm blinkered towards and I won't listen to the warning signs quite so much. I'd rather be in shape and then look around and say there's a race next week and jump into that than have it planned.
