I'm confident of what I have to achieve in the buildup to London 2012.

Go in any direction..seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs.

Never set limits, go after your dreams, don't be afraid to push the boundaries. And laugh a lot - it's good for you!

You can be strong and true to yourself without being rude or loud.

So much of contemporary crime fiction is painful to read and obsessed with violence, particularly against women, and I can't read that.

Man is so made that when anything fires his soul, impossibilities vanish.

Just remember: Surviving is the best revenge, no matter what the disaster has been.

Those who speak most of illness have illness, those who speak most of prosperity have it..etc.

I think that, generally, you need to live with your sport 24 hours a day.

I stay out too late, got nothing in my brain.
