loves mind owe people send sign street
Sometimes people will come up in the street and say: 'My daughter loves you, will you sign an autograph for her?' And some people send me stuff. I don't mind it at all: as a sportswoman, you owe them because they support you.
thinking phones people
I think Facebook's dangerous. So many people I know get into trouble with Facebook... I'd rather just pick up the phone. Or Skype.
brother people lucky
My brother and I have been able to get on and have been very lucky to do things with our family that other people wouldn't have been able to do. But then again, we've also been able to live a normal life as well.
people waiting trying
I'm not trying to succeed for the people who are waiting for me to fail. I'm doing it for myself. I'm one for the 'You only live once so you should do as much as you can' sort of thing.
people looks paper
People still text me to say that there is something about me in the paper, and what really annoys me is that if it's nasty, I then have to go and have a look, even though actually I don't want to know.
senior thinking people
The senior members of the royal family work very hard and I don't think people quite realise that.
press problem
The problem I have with the press is that if you tell them anything interesting, they never take any notice.
found lifetime mine owe relatively sports
In our sport you're very lucky to find a horse of a lifetime and I found mine relatively early. He's done everything for me and I owe him the world.
massively range stuff
My mother is massively into sailing, so we always had Musto clothes, and it went on from there, really. I wouldn't say it's a career in fashion. The range is all day-to-day stuff that I'd put on and use myself.
ground home taking
Taking part in an Olympics on home ground is something you dream about.
bit couple good quite rattle touch
I did rattle a couple of (fences) but I think that's quite good because if you don't touch them you get a bit casual.
heard ride surprised
I was surprised when I heard I was to ride for the team,
clever
You think you're so clever but I can see you. Go away!
bizarre dream gold massive win
It has always been a massive dream to win gold like this. It is so bizarre to think I have one more than my mother.
