- (May 18, 2013) Married her boyfriend of 8 years Andy Hill following a 2-year-long engagement.
- [on being awarded an MBE]: I love my sport and can't think of anything I would want to do more, and to be recognised for the years of hard work and the success I have had over the the past two years means so much.
- Training is full-on. Some days I really don't want to get out of bed and hit that track again. Sunday and Monday morning sessions are always horrible. But who really looks forward to going to work on a Monday morning?
- My idea of beauty is somebody that doesn't have to try too much, someone who is effortless and fresh.
- I'm proud of the way I've dealt with setbacks. It's hard when you feel down and you think, 'Why is the world doing this to me?' But you have to pick yourself up again. That's what makes you a better athlete.
- I wasn't the kind of kid who would get A's without even trying. I had to work to get good grades, but I was very organised about it because I always wanted to do well at everything I did. I'm very competitive.
