I carry a golf ball to put under my feet when they get tight, and a Thera-Band for general stretching.

After my first day of competition I put on compression socks. They help me recover for the next day.

I don't look at Twitter between events because it's a distraction but I will ring my fiance and parents to let them know how it's going.

To unwind after training, I love to have a long hot soak in the bath, then veg out on the sofa with a box set. I'm a box-set junkie! I absolutely love 'Grey's Anatomy.'

I want to experience that massive adrenalin rush when you step into a new stadium, all the more so when that Olympic Stadium is packed full of people waving British flags.

It's really important for me to look good before a race. I definitely think if I feel I look good, it makes me feel more confident.

On a scale of one to 10, I'd rate my body confidence as a good seven. Everyone has their hang-ups, but I see my body as a training tool and I feel good about it.

I learned what I need to do in the long jump, what I needed to do in the javelin and I've been able to rectify those events. It's been a bit of a learning curve, which is good.

I do watch what I eat but I've got a real sweet tooth.

To get the adrenaline pumping between events - or to help me switch off, Jay Z, the Roots and Drake are on my playlist.

I love getting dressed up for red carpet events and having my hair and makeup done professionally - that definitely helps with nerves of going down the red carpet.

You don’t have to be rich to understand time conversion.

The only regret I have is that I couldn't teach you a lesson in humanity and humility. A mother should not depend on his son and that's the one mistake I committed.

But God has set no traps for us. Quite the contrary. He has summoned us to the only true and full freedom.

Trials teach us what we are.

I want to make a clear distinction between people who take acting seriously and people who call themselves actors because theyve been on reality TV or something.

A vocation is born to us all; happily most of us meet promptly our twin,--occupation.

I silently laugh at my own cenotaph, And out of the caverns of rain, Like a child from the womb, like a ghost from the tomb, I arise and unbuild it again.

Next time you see an unblemished expanse of grass, think about the chemicals that probably got dumped in your vicinity to create it. Are you grateful for that?

Be patient, even if every possibility seems closed.

I've been so fortunate because I never really had ups and downs as far as my career. Ninety-nine percent of the time, I've been sold out all over the world.
