I can't change my personality. I'll always smile, but I'll be more focused.
You can exercise anytime, anywhere. It doesn't have to be the gym.
I want to lay all my cards out on the table and walk away with no regrets.
It's an individual sport; you want to do well for yourself.
If something is mine, then I want to keep it.
I played a lot of football, and I was a goalkeeper, but I didn't really like playing in goal.
You can be in the shape of your life, and then injury strikes. So you have to grab your opportunities.
As a Liverpool fan, I'm an eternal optimist because of what we did in Istanbul in 2005.
It's a huge step up from the European Indoor Championships to being world outdoor gold medallist.
An example of my average week would be the gym on Monday; Tuesday will be a technical session. I practice running and high jump on Thursday and then have another technical session at the weekend.
I feel like, when I'm 100% healthy, I can do anything.
I always said I wanted an Olympic medal. It's the pinnacle of any athlete's career.
I used to play football with a load of lads, and I would be like a secret agent going out with a hat on so they wouldn't see my hair in a bun.
That people believe I can be Olympic champ, it just spurs me on.
It's very easy to run a good 200 m. after an appalling shot put.
For me, I can't see Liverpool without him because he's just been there since I was a kid. I had him on the back of my shirt. He's always been on the team every time I've watched Liverpool. It's going to be really weird next season, a Steven Gerrard-less Liverpool side.
I'm training once a day, four days a week, and just loving life.
Everything happens for a reason - I'm a believer of that for sure.
Record-breaking is not getting boring. I am definitely happy with that.
If you saw pictures of me as a kid, you'd laugh because I was always in football kit.
