Growing up, I would never have thought that I'd be a double Olympic champion, with a lovely home and beautiful kids.
From Mo Farah
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.
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.
I'm probably a lot more closer in the 1500m to the world record than I am in the 5000m.
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.
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'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.'
