I've been going to the same barber the last few years, and we have great chats whenever I'm in the chair. He'll ask: 'How you doing? How's the training going?' Just ordinary, obvious things, but then, like you do with your barber, you start talking about personal stuff.

There is a very thin line between confidence and arrogance.

The more you believe in yourself, the faster you're going to get.

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

Sometimes I still go round the house making weird noises and stuff, so in that aspect, I haven't grown up!

Seeing that flag means so much: I am inspired by my Queen, my country.

People make the mistake of thinking they've got to perform just because someone has said something about their potential.

Olympic champions should be 100 per cent athletes who have made the sacrifices.
