It has been a long journey, but if you dream and have the ambition and want to work hard, then you can achieve.

There is so much to discover in Dubai.

I've got such a sweet tooth. I do miss the U.K. where you get sticky toffee pudding or custard, all that.

I love what I do. I want to continue winning medals.

Dubai is a safe place, and I never came across anything to worry about.

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.

I believe no matter who you are, respect yourself, respect others.

The coach is the boss at the end of the day. I do whatever he tells me and don't ask questions.

I'd heard a lot about Dubai before I first visited and couldn't wait to go.

It's doesn't just come overnight, you've got to train for it and believe in yourself; that's the most important thing.

I work so hard for what I do. To achieve what I have has taken me half of my life to be able to achieve what I have achieved. And for people to think I have taken a shortcut, it's not right, and it's not fair.

You've got to believe in God.

You imagine running 120 miles a week, week in, week out, for the past four or five years. It takes a little bit out of you.

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'd love to work with children. I've set up the charity, and that's going well. We've got a lot of projects we're doing in Somalia, so I'd like to see how we're doing there.

It gets to you as a father when your kids don't react to you in the way you imagine.

I wasn't a fighting kid or a causing-trouble kid. I was just one of those cheeky, crazy kids running around.

To be labelled a cheat - it's not fair. If I'm a cheat, then prove I'm a cheat or just leave me alone and let me do what I do best.

Records are there to be broken. Lots of people would love to swap their world record for an Olympic medal, but for me, my medals are there forever and ever, and that's what does it for me.

I wished for just one medal as a junior.

I've never been in the top three of Sports Personality. And I won't be in the top three again. You have just got to accept what it is.

It triggers something in you as a human being because you forget what your parents did for you. But when you become a parent, you're like, 'Whoa! It's hard work.' No wonder your parents always tell you off! They've done a lot for you.

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.

I used to get called 'Ferrari' when I was a kid because I was always running everywhere.

My goals are to run the London Marathon and do the best that I can.

I was running sub-13 minutes for 5,000 when I was still coached by Alan Storey, and I won double gold at the Europeans in 2010.

It's hard, and I don't always get to see my kids. I will never catch up on that time I've missed.

The public do get behind me, and I love the crowd. When I'm ever in London, they give me massive support - the Anniversary Games, the cheers; they are always nice to me.

I'm 33 years old; I'm getting old. Every year is different, and as an athlete, you've got to be honest with yourself.

There's a time in everyone's career where you go, 'Ah, this is hard - how long am I going to have to do this?' But the rewards are so great. Who gets to go on the podium and hear the national anthem? The whole nation singing! Money can't buy you that.

It would be great to run around with the family every day, go shopping, take the children out. At my level, though, I can only afford to do that for one week maximum. Otherwise I have to eat, sleep, train - nothing else.

What drives me is winning medals and going out there and enjoying it.

I'm especially drawn to the sand dunes. I love driving around and exploring them by dune buggy.

What do you want to be? If you don't put the work in, you're not going to be able to be it.

What I do, it's part of my job, but you want to bring your kids up the right way and give them everything - to be there for them and have that connection.

I'm probably a lot more closer in the 1500m to the world record than I am in the 5000m.

It's important you think positively not negatively. Think about your loved ones and all the people who are behind you.

You try and help something, and later on it bites you, so it's a hard decision, but as a country, as a nation, people need our help.

There's Kenyan guys who last year or two years ago were running for Kenya, and then they switched to Qatar and Bahrain and other countries. Yes, I do have a problem with that.

I'm as much of a human being as the rest of the world. But if I don't train, I don't win. If I don't focus, I don't win. So I don't have a choice: I just have to run.

As an athlete you want to be able to choose something that you haven't already achieved. Is it different distances, or do you come back and defend your titles? It depends what your coach says.

As an athlete, you can train for so many years to be a 5K/10K runner. That's who you are, and it's hard to change that. Not using that technique - almost like a sprint - that's when you have to loosen up and just save as much energy as you can.

Bolt put the Mobot on the map, to be honest with you! He's just an amazing guy.

I'm the champion, and to stay ahead, I have to work harder.

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.

My first Olympics memory was watching Haile Gebrselassie in Sydney 2000. His sprint finish to defend his title really moved me.

I've become someone else, really, like a role model.

Because of who I am, people ask for photos. I can't just say no to everyone.

If your body needs certain food, you have to give it to it. And as an athlete, if I'm doing 100 miles a week and working out, if I eat bad food one day, it's not bad for me because I burn it off.

I go through a lot of painful things. There are sessions when I will be on my back afterwards, crawling.
