You see somebody like Olivia Colman and say, 'Okay, she's really great at comedy - I wonder if she can do drama?' As an actor looking at her, you just think, 'Of course she can,' because she's got timing and lines are all about timing, and all about the truth, and all about saying it in a way that makes sense and rings true.
For casting purposes, it seems I was born in the wrong skin.
I stayed in some lovely hotels in Thailand, especially the Mandarin Oriental in Bangkok. It was very peaceful and really well done. It also had food to die for and the staff were incredibly polite.
Winning the Olympics was an amazing feeling, but afterwards, it was a bit like, 'What do I do now?' So I lost a bit of motivation going back into training and competitions; I had so much pressure on me. I kept thinking, 'I'm the Olympic champion. I can't lose' - being only 19 and having to deal with all that pressure.
