If you feel strongly about something and you want to voice your opinion, I feel it's your right, so, that's how I look at it because that's how life is.

If you're the Olympic champion then they have to wait four more years to get you again.

I was always brought up to believe in Him [God], and to behave in certain ways. That is what my parents taught me and I always trust my parents. They have great values.

I was not stressing about what other people wanted. I put myself first.

Each training session I'm getting better and better. I have no other duties now, no worries, it's all about training, eating and sleeping. I have a lot more time and can put a lot more effort into training. I'm feeling better every day. As long as I'm feeling myself I'm definitely in no doubt I can go to the Olympics and win.

As long as I'm in good shape, you'll always see me smiling.

I think sometimes, when you're on top and all you do is win, win, win, win, win, you get lazy and lose focus. When you lose it opens your eyes and you get serious. There is always a time when it is good to lose, at the right time for you.
