I feel like Rio 2016 was my worst performance, and really my burnout.
Rio 2016 is definitely on my mind, and I would really like to go to some more World Championships before that.
A gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics is what I'm looking for. I have to pace my training in such a way that I'm at my best in Rio, and when I'm in form, no opponent can come in my way.
I'd like to do some modelling. But I will go on with pentathlon until the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
I think I'm ready and excited for Rio in 2016.
I went to London and was excited to make the team, but to be honest, I was a bit dissatisfied with my performance there, and I'd really like to make up for that in Rio and get the best out of myself on the Olympic stage.
When I participated in Rio Olympics in 2016, I failed to grab a medal. But it was a learning experience.
There is Rio in 2016, but it won't be the same as going to London and hearing 24,000 people - nearly all British - cheering, stamping their feet, and screaming your name.
Creative burnout and physical burnout is real. I mean, there are moments when I get home - after overseeing, you know, almost 16 collections a year - where I can't move.
When I was in Beijing, London, and also in Rio I was still a kid really, I didn't feel pressure.
I feel like I fell short in Rio.
Some days you really don't feel like racing and you have a great performance, some days you feel great and you have a mediocre performance.
I knew I would try for the Tokyo Olympics back in 2016. I was sitting in the stands as an alternate at the Rio Olympics, watching my teammates compete and thinking to myself, 'That could have been me.'
One of the most important things you need when you're doing big shows, like Rock in Rio, is consistency, and that starts with the sound in your ears. If it isn't just right, it throws you off and makes it hard to focus on the music and the performance.
I wrote [Valley of Violence] entirely with James Ransone in mind. I get such a joy out of watching his performance and seeing people watch this. He's so great. The bravado thing and the foolishness, he does them both so well. It's weird because he's so hateable in the movie, but in the end, you're also going, "I feel bad for him." That's hard to do. It's hard to do that to where you're like, "This guy's the worst, but I know why he's the worst, so it's a shame this is happening." That's the whole thing.
If the fans want a burnout, I'm going to give them a burnout. That's what it's going to be.
My performance at Rio gave me closure. I did my best and could not have done any more.
