To be one of the first British females to get three gold medals, to join Laura Trott in doing that, is a huge privilege.

I think we're actually the only sport that has a mix of men and women competing together. The majority of other sports are separated by gender.

It's insane to have won all those things - not possible. But what I love is learning, which never stops and is nothing to do with the medals you've won.

I literally got a private invite for lunch with the Queen. There was just 10 of us. And I was absolutely petrified because you can't take anyone with you, and no other sportspeople were there. There was the head of the military, and then the Queen sat next to me.

I've never loved spending time on the machines at the gym. But I have discovered an exercise regimen I can dedicate myself to: yoga. It's changed my body.

I stress the relevance of my work for cancer research because I believe that science must be useful to man.

I'm happy that I feel a little less out of place in filmmaking than I once was - but it's almost impossible for a playwright in the U.S. to make a living. You can have a play, like I did with 'Angels,' and it still generates income for me, but it's not enough for me to live on and have health insurance.

While I try to keep my fitness regimen consistent, during awards season, I'm especially conscious of what I'll be wearing and plan my workouts accordingly.
