Lizzie Armitstead

I had to find my own path, and in some ways, it's been a good thing.

It's not always about gold medals, I think. It has to be about development, and we are missing that in U.K. at the moment.

You've got all that 130 km. of being totally focused, and as soon as you cross the line, it takes a few seconds to realise what's happened.

Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.

I like villains because there's something so attractive about a committed person - they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted. They're motivated.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
