I love doing crosswords, it's so important to keep the brain going.
I was very different from other badminton players. I did not bring badminton home. I wouldn't eat, sleep, drink badminton or talk about it to friends.
I think badminton has a real legacy with more youngsters taking up the sport. Badminton has done really well in that regard compared to other sports.
I'm really happy doing what I'm doing. I'm not looking to do anything else. I love what I do. I love music. I love playing. I love touring.
I love what I do, and if I'm playing for people who love what I'm doing, I don't really care, I'll keep playing till the cows come home.
Seriously, the Olympic badminton players were apparently trying to lose on purpose, a big story. But really, think about it, if you train day and night for four years to be in the Olympics for badminton, in a way, haven't you already lost?
I love winning more than I love playing badminton. Winning is everything.
Badminton is not only about winning. What is important to me is about playing hard, doing my best and putting up a good show for the spectators.
I started playing badminton when I was probably of eight years and ever since have been playing. I didn't go to university.
I'd be counting calories in my head while having conversations and doing crosswords.
I really love action. I really love doing my own stunts. I would love to do more of that. I've done a lot of TV, but my heart is really in film. I really look forward to the film possibilities. I would love to dance in a movie again. I love all those creative aspects, like playing an instrument or dancing. I look forward to all that stuff, in future roles.
I'm not one for Sudoku or crosswords - the thing that fires my little brain is doing tour budgets.
Badminton is not popular in the U.S. because I think the mentality of badminton has to change.
Find something you really love doing and mix it with something you really care about. That's why I've had such longevity as an artist. I really, really care about ending violence against women, and I really, really love playing music. It's super enjoyable!
Any girl who likes watching movies would like to work in them and would want to do all of that. I'm also one of them. But people know me for badminton and love me for it. So I'd stick to it right now. But maybe after badminton, I'll think about it.
Do I rue a life wasted doing crosswords? Yes, but I do know the three-letter-word for regret.
