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

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 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.

I do need my independence. I have to have that.

Love shouldn't make our choices for us; it should just add importance to our choices.

The three things that motivate creative people - autonomy, mastery, purpose!

Popular atheism is not a philosophy but a therapy.

Afghanistan is not like what's happening in Chicago. People are being shot left and right.

I led a comfortable life, went to good schools and was privileged in many ways, but my father worked hard. We never considered ourselves rich.

If you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.
