I joined the local athletics club when I was 12, that's what I did. I did it of my own volition.

I did do my own stunts.

If I decide to be an idiot, then I'll be an idiot on my own accord.

I had a very ordinary background in Sheffield; I went to a secondary modern, but I saw something on TV in 1968 that inspired me to join an athletics club, and 12 years later, with great coaching and the support of people who loved me a lot, I ended up at an Olympic Games.

I always did think that when I turned 40, I'd start coming into my own.

I don't do my own Instagram.
