I am not a robot; I am a member of a family - my commitment to them comes over and above my commitment to cycling.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
It's fantastic to have the opportunity to race at home, so I wouldn't miss it.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
The Rio experience for me is going to be completely different to London.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
Eating well is really important to me. That means having balanced meals, never missing a meal, never skipping a meal, having a balanced diet, and never doing anything extreme.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
It has been difficult to get back on the saddle, particularly after getting whiplash and concussion, but it's just about understanding that sometimes it's OK to say, 'I don't want to get back on my bike for week.'
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
Most of my friends are non-cyclists. They are interested and proud of my achievements, but, equally, if I stopped tomorrow, they wouldn't say much about it!
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
I never quit. The times when I have quit in the past because I couldn't face trying harder have stayed with me, and the guilt is not worth it.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
In terms of being a famous person, it hasn't changed anything. It's not important for me.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
There's a lot of bunch finishes, which are hectic and kind of dangerous; you need a lot of luck to win those.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
A world championship medal on the road is something that I'm missing from my CV.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
I've got a lot of silvers. Second seems to be something I end up being. I don't want to be the bridesmaid forever.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
I am one of the best in the world, and it's a position I should get used to being in.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
I think about Rio every day. Every day in training, it's something that drives me forward. I want to be Olympic champion.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
I feel extremely guilty that I've had to put team-mates through extra media questions.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
I'm not at the point of accepting it yet - but I will have to come to the point of accepting that people will doubt me forever.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
A family is something that I definitely want, but I'm 26, so I have plenty of time, and I try not to kind of confuse the two because, if I'm lucky enough, I want to make having a baby a personal decision rather than a career-defined one.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
As a female athlete, I think it's really important to stand up on a podium and represent females and what we're capable of, and I always try to make political statements with what I do rather than with headlines.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
It's really important for cycling and for women to be on a sporting stage which is in the mainstream and across the board, not just my own sport.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
I've never thought about it in training, 'If I do this, then maybe I can be on the SPOTY shortlist.'
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
I'm 100 per cent motivated. I haven't done enough yet in cycling to be satisfied.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
I like being part of the Great Britain setup. I like feeling I'm at a race that is important and the pressure that goes with it.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
I need to learn to be happy and enjoy the achievement rather than already thinking about what I could have done better.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
For the rest of my life, I realise people are going to ask questions of me, but at the end of the day, I am a clean athlete, and I have worked hard.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
I have never cheated anybody out of a victory, I have worked hard for every single race that I have won.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
I'm excited to see the growth in women's cycling, and I think the Women's Tour has had a really positive impact on that change.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
As a British rider, it's a privilege to be able to compete on home roads. The British public have really taken to cycling, and you can see that when the race goes through different towns: the community really gets behind it.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
I've been successful because I've never been someone to shy away from taking responsibility.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
I have got lots of silver medals, from Delhi in 2010 and London in 2012, so it would be nice to pick up some golds, and the Commonwealth Games is a great place to start.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
The problem, as a female athlete, is that you don't want to come across as negative and moaning.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
There are lots of things that could be done. We could get more help from the UCI, like forcing Pro-Tour teams to have a women's equivalent.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
There's been a lot of champions before me, and I'm sure there will be ahead of me.
Quote by -Lizzie Armitstead
You've got all that 130 km. of being totally focused, and as soon as you cross the line, it takes a few seconds to realise what's happened.
