I'm hugely patriotic.

Not that I went into the Olympics with any doubt, but my holiday plans afterwards depended on how well I did - bronze, silver or gold.

It's good for kids to look up to sporting role models.

I've made sure I am working hard enough to get that lead and keep it there.

Just because I have two world records, everyone assumes that means automatically it is two guaranteed gold medals, but it isn't like that, and anything can happen in a race.

I still like to sit in a room and play games all day, so I'm a kid, really.

You don't want people thinking you're a cheat just because you're really fast and have broken the world record by a second.

Swimming and all other sports have got to get to that place where you have the trust of the people watching it.

There is enough going on in Olympic year without having to do my own cooking and washing.

Mum tries to make every race that she can.

When I represent Team GB, I never give less than 100 per cent. It is an absolute honour.

Not a lot of people get to go to the Olympics - especially with the chance I've got.

Before competition, I start to question things. I don't know why it happens, but you've got to control it so you don't get too far out of the race.

A lot of people put pressure on me, but I don't think I feel that type of pressure. It is more of a good thing that people are trying to do that.

I believe in that gladiatorial mind-set. I love it.

The roar of the crowd when you come out for a final is like nothing else: when 15,000 people are cheering you, a lot of adrenaline goes right through you.

Grime reminds me that swimming is very gladiatorial.

I love tuning into Radio 1 on a Friday night after training and hearing the new stuff.

I don't think I'm a good dancer.

For 100 m., you have to go out fast but also bring it back, so we've been doing a lot of work on the back-end speed.
