I'm obsessed with TV. How wrong our parents were when they said we should only watch an hour a day. Stop wasting your time reading books.
The pressure of the Olympic Games is real overwhelming.
I live in a swimsuit so I'm really comfortable with my body.
Without goals, training has no direction.
I actually love swimming but I just hate jumping in the water.
I generally wake up at 4:30, have breakfast No. 1, then get to the pool by 5 a. m.
Leading a healthy, active lifestyle is all about momentum. If I'm in the middle of training it's easy for me to keep that up. It gets tough when I'm on a break. I just try to start my day with a good breakfast and a quick walk, something simple that gets the day off on the right foot. The more I do that, the more I make healthy choices that reflect the good choices made earlier.
Maybe if Graziano make another work or another sport I wouldn't have had this passion to be a rider.

I was 17, and all I wanted to do was to get away from England and the awful, boring boarding schools I'd been going to there. The last one was taught by monks, and I couldn't wait to get out.
To me, life is about creating memories. The regular days kind of just blend in. You have to create special times so that you will always remember them.
