“In America... it's not divided, but with Trump now, it's like you are asking for trouble. We wouldn't dare to say any of the things he is saying in our country and get away with it. It's just... blasphemy.”

“I'm especially drawn to the sand dunes. I love driving around and exploring them by dune buggy.”
“Look at my success. I didn't achieve it overnight. It has been the product of many years' struggle, and every year, my times have shown gradual improvement.”
“If I look back down the years, how I was treated as a kid, if it wasn't for the teachers at my school, then I wouldn't have achieved what I have. You have to look where you came from, and we do need to get more parents involved, more running clubs and more schools. They can make a difference.”
“I don't want to talk politics, but what I do say is I believe in rules and laws, and if you come to this country, you've got to abide by the rules here.”

“I remember, in 1999, the first time I met Steve Cram, I didn't know who he was. It was only later, on YouTube, I started watching Seb Coe, Ovett. So it's nice to be recognised as one of the best guys in the world.”
“The coach is the boss at the end of the day. I do whatever he tells me and don't ask questions.”
“I've shown that if you dream and are willing to work hard, you can achieve your dreams.”
“It's important you think positively not negatively. Think about your loved ones and all the people who are behind you.”

“It's great to be British, really. If anything happens, I'm back to my country. At least I have a country.”
“In life, if people need help, then we should try and help them out.”
