My team are incredible, and I have the most amazing parents and beautiful girlfriend in the world.

If I win the Olympics in Rio, then I'll have each title in double.

I now have five major titles, and not many athletes can say that.

Although 8.25 isn't very big, it's good to be the best of Europe again.

I can't tell you how much everyone has worked so hard for me, as well as myself.

I thought I was going to jump further than that, but I don't care - I'm Olympic champion.

I knew I was going to be a sportsman.

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

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

It's very hard to win anything in athletics.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

I have a real passion for anything medieval, which is why I love the drama series 'Game Of Thrones.'

I live in a beautiful village in the middle of the countryside, and being able to disappear off on my bike for a couple of hours two or three times a week is a wonderful way to relax.

Over the years, I've had torrid luck with things going wrong.

Ultimately the clothing company is a large investment on my part, and I'm taking a huge gamble. But having a focus away from the track is good for you.

I've had 30 hamstring tears.

Lolo Jones came up to me and said, 'Well done, Greg,' and I don't think I've ever spoken to her in my life.

I've never had a car sponsor or all the things that most others seemed to have had.

I think there are lot more lows in an athletes career than the highs, but you've got to be bale to take them on the chin.

I wasn't jumping like Carl Lewis, but I still won an Olympic title.

Even before I really started, no one said I would make it. But I always had belief.

I take my three dogs for long walks every day, and I use that time to talk myself through winning every major competition.

My entire life, I've been searching for acceptance.

I was that ginger kid who always wanted people to like him. It's hard, and you've got a big chip on your shoulder for a long time.
