I can't change my personality. I'll always smile, but I'll be more focused.
Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I want to lay all my cards out on the table and walk away with no regrets.
You can exercise anytime, anywhere. It doesn't have to be the gym.
If something is mine, then I want to keep it.
You can be in the shape of your life, and then injury strikes. So you have to grab your opportunities.
We are all trying to achieve our dreams.
You can only train three or four hours a day, so what do you do with the other 20 hours?
I can handle coming fifth as long as I know I've given my all out there and have no regrets.
The heptathlon is made up of seven events, and people have strengths and weaknesses.
Obviously, when you're up against somebody you don't like there's extra motivation, but I don't think any person going for an Olympic gold is going to put friendship first.
I always said I wanted an Olympic medal. It's the pinnacle of any athlete's career.
I am going to Rio with a chance of a medal.
I don't do athletics for any other reason than achieving certain distances, certain titles and goals in my head.
I've always known that Rio and Tokyo are my two Olympics. Now that Rio hasn't gone to plan, Tokyo has to work, and I'm more motivated than ever.
They're just my weaknesses. Everyone is just constantly talking to me about it. It doesn't help.
When I was a kid, I always had my hair in two plaits. But for dancing, I had to have it in a bun because I did ballet.
When it comes to peaking at the right time, I have to thank my coach Mike Holmes: he is a genius.
I think 2020 can still be my time.
In the heptathlon, you can be any shape. Some of the girls are more built than others, and their strong events are the shot put and javelin.
It's a huge step up from the European Indoor Championships to being world outdoor gold medallist.
It's very easy to run a good 200 m. after an appalling shot put.
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.
As a Liverpool fan, I'm an eternal optimist because of what we did in Istanbul in 2005.
It's an individual sport; you want to do well for yourself.
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.
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 feel like, when I'm 100% healthy, I can do anything.
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.
I played a lot of football, and I was a goalkeeper, but I didn't really like playing in goal.
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.
Thankfully, I found athletics. My mum didn't like it at first, but the funny thing is that, now, she's the biggest athletics fan out there. She's a real expert, and she's got all the heptathlon books.
In the lead-up to competitions, I just watch box sets and DVDs and play 'Candy Crush.'
I live with my mum and my nan. I think I will leave eventually, but not at the moment when they look after me so well. If you came to my house, they'd make you eat something.
I want people to tell me the truth.
I want to win medals for myself.
I don't want to be someone else.
I got very addicted to performing. I just want to do that more.
I can always go back to education.
I'm very wholehearted. I want to concentrate on one thing in my life at one time.
When there was a fight in school, because I was the tall one, the teachers would say, 'I know you were there. I could see you.'
Maybe I'm the kind of athlete who absorbs the atmosphere instead of trying to block it out.
I've always looked at 2016, but 2020 is realistic for me. I'll be 23 in 2016, but if I keep on progressing, hopefully 2016 will be a medal chance as well for me.
No one put pressure on me to go to the Olympics; once I'd got the qualifying mark, I just couldn't say no.
I like to balance competing with studying. It's hard work at the moment, but it could be worse.
I think everyone in the heptathlon is improving together, so it is a very hard event to compete in.
Very few athletes get to experience a home Games, and I don't want to pass up the chance.
Competing in London would be a dream come true.
