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.

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

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

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.

The sole philosophy open to those who doubt the possibility of truth is absolute silence -- even mental.

Never let hatred give you an escort. It will drag your attention from all fortunes along the way.

Precisely at the point when you begin to develop a conscience you must find yourself at war with your society.

Vocal cords are not rental units. No Hebrew prophet, nor Mohammed, nor any founder of any cult or religion ever spoke the words of anybody but themselves.

Even now, as a vampire, the fear of addiction ruled her world.Would she ever be free?

Peace can start with just one heart.

The function of the painter is to render... the visible surface so that at a certain distance... and position it appears... like the body itself.

Words express only the feelings we know already.

Work is the rent you pay for the room you occupy on earth.

Quell rebellion before it spreads.
