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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You see so many different personalities and mind-sets in the world of sports, just like you do with actors.
A lot of people think being at the top means you have to be the best at a certain game. You don't. It's more about personality.
I'm not the best athlete.
I feel as though I've proved myself these last five years that I can be one of the top players in the league.
My mentality has always been, If I'm not the best at something, then I might as well be the best at something else. I realized that I wasn't going to be an Olympic volleyball player, but I knew I could model at that level.
Obviously, the competitor in you, you want to be in the top three every time in the pool.
I'm not a top-five player yet. Maybe I'm close to it, but I still have to work on some aspects. You can only be part of that group if you are decisive in the top games.
I'm not really interested in sports psychology. It makes me feel like a crazy person.
Listen, I believe I should be winning Sport Personality of the Year because if it's about sporting achievements and it's about personality, then I'm a winner hands down.
I've always considered myself the best and the top. I never considered that I was out of it.
