1 Age

  • 1. I think women get caught up too much in having a plan – 'I'm going to get married at this age I'm going to have a kid at this age' – and then they just try to find a guy who will fit into that picture. I don't want my life to be based on that.

  • 2. The London games mark the 24th anniversary of my winning two golds and setting the world record in the heptathlon. Someone is going to want it records are made to be broken – it's only a matter of time. I hope mine will outlive me.
  • 3. I think you have to be willing to take a bullet for somebody if you're going to stand up there take your vows and be married to them for the rest of your life.

5 Architecture

  • 1. But after the time there I'd had it with fashion again so I left to go to architecture school in a summer course at Harvard which didn't last very long.
  • 2. Warmth isn't what minimalists are thought to have.
  • 3. But the building's identity resided in the ornament.
