Zitat des Tages von Katie Taylor:
Going to the cinema or a meal can be difficult, with people asking for pictures or autographs.
I wouldn't be where I am without my dad. He's a genius.
Fighting at the Olympics has been my lifelong dream, and I cannot believe I am there now.
It's such a shame, really, because we were known for our country of saints and scholars, and we grew up with such a great tradition with St. Patrick, and he is the one who brought Christianity to Ireland, and we celebrate St. Patrick's day every single year, but there's very few practising Catholics or practising Christians.
I'm not going to be boxing forever, but I've put no time-cap on it, really.
It's so great to be able to inspire these young women today to get involved in male-dominated subjects.
I am European Games champion now as well as Olympic champion, European champion, and world champion.
It's so true: the fight is won or lost in the gym, and those words really stuck with me throughout my career.
I never went through an easy fight. Every fight has been hard fought.
I could have 10 kids or be boxing until I'm 40.
I never think about losing. That's why it's so hard to accept a loss.
There's a lot of people on the way up who want to take my place, so it's up to me to continue to improve.
There have been a lot of challenges over the years that I have overcome.
I can definitely box on the front foot as well as the back foot. I don't think that's really an issue.
After I came back from London with a gold medal, my focus straight away was to defend it four years on.
Boxing was just another one to keep me going as a child.
I would love to be able to speak my own language and maybe have an interview in Irish, maybe after my fights.
As long as I still feel a passion for the sport and preparing for these big competitions, I will carry on fighting.
I've had losses in my career before, and I've always come back stronger from those losses.
It's great for my confidence getting a letter saying 'All I want from life, Katie, is you and health.'
I became number one just after the World Championships in India. I was very young then, and I remember it was just a great feeling, my first World Championship.
I tend to think year-by-year and tournament-by-tournament.
I'm just sorry I couldn't come home with a second Olympic gold medal.
Sport is a great way to keep fit. It's a stress reliever.
I want to tell girls, it's not about make-up and how you look that's important; you are so much more than how you look.
I have a lot of confidence in myself, and I love that challenge as well. I love going to every competition as the favourite. It's something I relish.
Don't call me famous, but it's hard to be out with my friends now.
Anything other than a gold medal will be disappointing.
It is frustrating, but all I can do is just keep winning, and hopefully, people will stand up and take notice eventually.
I'd love to have a chance to fight in the World Series Boxing for women, but nothing has been done about that.
I can enjoy myself and express myself in the ring.
I want to leave a great legacy behind me and continue to win major championships.
I want to go down in the history books as one of the greatest female boxers of all time, and I think I'm on the right path.
People say, 'You will be 30 years old; you're too old. You'll get your nose broke,' say dad's a pushy dad. You hear stupid things and put them out of your mind.
The pressure was huge going into London, definitely.
I do a good job of staying positive and just moving on.
