It's always, 'Are you the runner girl?' I say, 'My name is Sally actually.' I used to always get that at school as well, 'Are you the runner girl?' I'm not even the runner girl, I'm a hurdler.

If you hold back in hurdles, you are going to fall over.

When it becomes hard for me not to eat bad food, I try to think about what I have to do and what is ahead of me and what I want to achieve.

I imagine these two girls next to me every time single time I'm going over those hurdles in training.

My job is my sport so I have to make sure that I stay focussed on it. I train almost every day so it takes up a lot of my life and you don't want to bring any new distractions into your life.

My goals were last year to win the world champs and this year to win the Olympic Games and I've done that and I couldn't be happier.

Winning a gold medal is not easy but I believed in myself, especially over the last four years.

Hurdling, sprinting, athletics in general, is always in the back of your mind.

I never let anything stop me from doing what I want to do.

Some people are used to having things done for them by her parents, I am not. I can do it myself.

I have a huge passion for animals and while retirement is a long way off, when I do I would love to do something with animals.

For me, I think the greatest achievements of science is to allow humanity to realize that our world is comprehensible. Through science, rational thinking, we can understand how the universe works.

I don't believe anyone who says love, love, love. It means self, self, self.

Don't think OF your goals, think FROM them.

Have fun, be active. Ride a bike instead of driving, for example.

Oh, how daily life is.

The summer of 1966, I hitch-hiked alone for two months all over Europe instead of working on a farm in Spain. It was a big game to see how much I could see on $400. This got me hooked on traveling.

I was exercising so hard that I began to lose weight.

The lack of a sense of history makes us really prey to manipulation.

My favorite movies are all romantic comedies. I love the romantic comedies. I'd still have to say Pretty Woman. I still think that it's one of the best ever.

A family without prayer is like a house without a roof, open and exposed to all the storms of heaven.
