I do weights three or four times a week, and it has had an incredible impact on my confidence.

People assume that you need to run fast to get to optimum fitness, but the truth is endurance lifting makes you stronger and leaner.

I was persuaded to see 'The Muppets' by a friend, and I regretted it. A very boring hour and a half.

I would love to be an historian. I'm a bit of a history geek and love books and programmes on the subject.

I was very into football in my early teens and spent six months with Aston Villa, but I never really got further than having trials. I'm also into ice hockey.

When I chose athletics, I knew I wanted to be Olympic champion, and now I have done it in London.

I want to become double Olympic champion, triple Olympic champion, five-time world medallist.

I think it was just me who thought I could be Olympic champion. I've been telling myself that, and I did that.

It's very hard to win anything in athletics.

It's changed from one-hit wonder to 'Greg Rutherford wins events.' That's what I've always wanted, that level of recognition.

Since the Olympics in London, people say, 'Greg's won again. That's what we all expect. Of course he wins.'

It will be good fun finding out what sport baby's good at; perhaps it will be something obscure. My parents were fantastic at taking me to training sessions and letting me try lots of different sports, so I want to do the same.

My parents were great at making sure I got out of bed when I needed to play football on a Sunday morning and that I was ready after school to go to training on a Tuesday and Thursday. But it was never forced upon me or rammed down my throat. If it had been, I could have ended up hating sport.

It's quite funny because I always talk to baby through Susie's belly, and every time I start speaking, I just get kicked in the face.

Being in a scenario where you're thinking, 'I can't do what I want to do due to the financial burden that comes with some of it,' makes you think, 'Well, I could go and do an after-dinner speech every night.' I'd probably earn more than I could in track-and-field. But that's a dangerous scenario to get yourself into.

There are not many people around the world who can say, 'I get paid to jump into a sandpit.'

Ultimately, I love the sport; I love doing what I do.

I haven't actually checked my family tree, but Rutherford is a very old Scottish name, so I've probably got Scottish genes a few generations back.

There's definitely football in the blood, but my body made my decision for me that I was going to be an Olympic athlete instead.

I dabbled in football myself until the age of 14, but I didn't have as much love for the sport as I did track and field. I would never have been good enough to take it to the highest level.

I was quite lucky: although my dad worked a lot, whenever he was free, he would play sports with me and my brother, and I can't wait to do that with my child.

I think the first time baby recognises me and smiles is going to be one of the most amazing times of my life, to be honest.

When I picked athletics, I knew I wanted to be an Olympic champion.

I knew I was going to be a sportsman.
