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.

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.

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.

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.

Wisdom is the reward for surviving our own stupidity.

Unless people are prepared to declare themselves your enemies you have to hunt around for them.

Squeeze property speculators until the pips squeak.

The hunter for aphorisms on human nature has to fish in muddy water, and he is even condemned to find much of his own mind.

If you can die, you are confused because death is a perception of something ending and something else obviously beginning, which means we're still hung up on qualities.

Sin always seems 'good, and pleasant, and desirable,' at the time of commission.

It Was Once Suggested to Me that, as an Antidote to Crying, I Put My Head in a Paper Bag.

The only person I can amaze is me.

I think maybe one day I'll go back to music. I don't know. I don't know if sometimes you lose a passion or you don't lose it, it becomes more personal and less about sharing it with everyone.

I am a firm believer in intelligent design as a matter of faith and intellect, and I believe it should be presented in schools alongside the theories of evolution.
