If you criticise something then you have to have an alternative, but we do have to try and improve things.

Adopting a new healthier lifestyle can involve changing diet to include more fresh fruit and vegetables as well as increasing levels of exercise.

But I sometimes think we have too much of a fixation about 2012.

There was no money in the sport but we'd be out there day in, day out, rain or shine, doing it.

Some of today's athletes do not have that kind of pride. They left school at 16, have never had a job in their life and are getting Lottery funding, earning money as an athlete.

I know what it takes to get to the top.

I don't think there are really enough meetings in Britain for our athletes to compete properly, and because of this a lot of the talent we have has been stunted.

I am a coach on the outside of the establishment and that works.

I think it's great that they are getting funding, but it's just too easy. They don't have to work for it. We did it because we had pride, because we loved it.

I said to God you are lucky, you can create exalted mother, God replied you are luckier than me because you have mother

My voice belongs to me, from God. People will comment, "Your voice helped me through." Maybe it’s God in me, because I don’t take credit for that.

Know where to find the information and how to use it - That's the secret of success.

The true confidence which is faith in Christ, and the true diffidence which is utter distrust of myself--are identical.

And when the time comes to replace the O2 I have today, maybe my next machine will run Linux.

I know certain roles are important to me. I know that I really want to play them. I know I can do a good job. But I can never put into words why.

I don't have much of a problem with interruptions. I keep a detailed record of paint and materials as a work on each painting. I can restart exactly where I left off.

The words, when they came to my heart, were so gentle, and familiar -- and so very sad: What is this you have done?
