The public do get behind me, and I love the crowd. When I'm ever in London, they give me massive support - the Anniversary Games, the cheers; they are always nice to me.

Social media can be dangerous. People hide behind their computers and write negative things, so I like to keep it about communicating with my fans.

I work every day hard. I put my body through hell. Let me tell you, every year, seven months of the year, I don't see my family. Year in, year out. I miss my kids. Kid's birthdays, anniversaries. I'll never be able to go back and be with my family.

It has been a long journey, but if you dream and have the ambition and want to work hard, then you can achieve.

I'm especially drawn to the sand dunes. I love driving around and exploring them by dune buggy.

I'm the champion, and to stay ahead, I have to work harder.

I think the way I am, the way I'm chilled out, has a lot to do with being Muslim and having faith.

I grew up with a lot of friends who are white, black, Muslim, non-Muslim. I like people a lot.

I'd promised my older daughter Rhianna I was going to get a medal for her, and in my mind I was thinking, 'I can't let her down.'

Records are there to be broken. Lots of people would love to swap their world record for an Olympic medal, but for me, my medals are there forever and ever, and that's what does it for me.

I don't want to talk politics, but what I do say is I believe in rules and laws, and if you come to this country, you've got to abide by the rules here.

Look at my success. I didn't achieve it overnight. It has been the product of many years' struggle, and every year, my times have shown gradual improvement.

A guy like me, yes, I am good in terms of championship races, and that's where I dominate - but in terms of running fast times, I haven't quite done that.

What drives me is winning medals and going out there and enjoying it.

I've never been in the top three of Sports Personality. And I won't be in the top three again. You have just got to accept what it is.

I work so hard for what I do. To achieve what I have has taken me half of my life to be able to achieve what I have achieved. And for people to think I have taken a shortcut, it's not right, and it's not fair.

This picture has been painted of me. It's not right. I am 100% clean.

I love what I do. I want to continue winning medals.

The only medication that I am on, I am on asthma, and I have had that since I was a child. That's just a normal use.

Growing up, I would never have thought that I'd be a double Olympic champion, with a lovely home and beautiful kids.

On the track, you know what you're capable of, but being at the birth, you have no control.

It triggers something in you as a human being because you forget what your parents did for you. But when you become a parent, you're like, 'Whoa! It's hard work.' No wonder your parents always tell you off! They've done a lot for you.

I'm probably a lot more closer in the 1500m to the world record than I am in the 5000m.

The coach is the boss at the end of the day. I do whatever he tells me and don't ask questions.

As an athlete, you can train for so many years to be a 5K/10K runner. That's who you are, and it's hard to change that. Not using that technique - almost like a sprint - that's when you have to loosen up and just save as much energy as you can.

President Donald Trump seems to have made me an alien.

I'm a guy who wins medals rather than runs fast times, so for me, what keeps me going is winning medals for my country and making my nation proud.

You imagine running 120 miles a week, week in, week out, for the past four or five years. It takes a little bit out of you.

When you line up on the track, you want to have done your homework, be aware of what they are capable of. You think about everything. It's like taking a journey, innit?

I've got four kids, so I plan ahead. I have to book flights far in advance, look at accommodation, where it is, what you can and can't do. Same in running.

I've got such a sweet tooth. I do miss the U.K. where you get sticky toffee pudding or custard, all that.

I'm as much of a human being as the rest of the world. But if I don't train, I don't win. If I don't focus, I don't win. So I don't have a choice: I just have to run.

What do you want to be? If you don't put the work in, you're not going to be able to be it.

It's important you think positively not negatively. Think about your loved ones and all the people who are behind you.

It's great to be British, really. If anything happens, I'm back to my country. At least I have a country.

I'm 33 years old; I'm getting old. Every year is different, and as an athlete, you've got to be honest with yourself.

To be knighted, that would be amazing. I remember Alex Ferguson from Man Utd got it and Steve Redgrave - to be in the same category as them is amazing.

I want to thank the public, so I have to keep doing what I do, which is keep winning medals for my country.

I always learn something from every race.

I wasn't a fighting kid or a causing-trouble kid. I was just one of those cheeky, crazy kids running around.

I said to myself, 'I don't want to be coming sixth or seventh, and being the best in Britain. I want to be the best in the world and race against these Kenyan guys.'

There's a time in everyone's career where you go, 'Ah, this is hard - how long am I going to have to do this?' But the rewards are so great. Who gets to go on the podium and hear the national anthem? The whole nation singing! Money can't buy you that.

I am just grateful I have a British passport and a country here.

In life, if people need help, then we should try and help them out.

You try and help something, and later on it bites you, so it's a hard decision, but as a country, as a nation, people need our help.

I don't know much about politics, but you have to look at it with the bigger picture and think what's best for us now, what's best for us in 10 years' time, what's best for our kids' kids' future - and I don't know.

The whole reason I moved to the U.S. to be coached by Alberto Salazar is to be able to improve 1 or 2 per cent. I was sick of coming sixth in the world, seventh in the world, and get close to a medal, but not quite there, half-a-second.

I used to get called 'Ferrari' when I was a kid because I was always running everywhere.

Even though running is work for me, I always miss it if I take a break. A lot of people find running relaxing, but I can never switch off from timing and competing against myself.
