I'm not a marriage expert, quite clearly.
Cathy Freeman
I'm drinking lots of herbal tea.
Cathy Freeman
People could see in me who I am now, an Olympic champ, the best in the world.
Cathy Freeman
I was running since I was 10. Since grade one at school people looked at me and thought, oh gosh she can really run, she's a natural.
Cathy Freeman
You got to try and reach for the stars or try and achieve the unreachable.
Cathy Freeman
My mind is pretty made up that life for Cathy Freeman will be as an unmarried woman from now on.
Cathy Freeman
I quite clearly have made the right decision in my heart, retirement was the way.
Cathy Freeman
I'd like to see as many sports as I can because I have never had the chance to enjoy the other sports in the past.
Cathy Freeman
It is my second visit to Korea since the International Junior Athletic Championships in 1992. Both then and now, I felt Korea is an interesting country and the people are very kind.
Cathy Freeman
I decided that I was going to go to the Olympics to see if I had made the right decision to retire because I knew that if I'd made the mistake of retiring I would know during and after those Games in Athens.
Cathy Freeman
I feel like I've reached an age where I can relax a little bit with the knowledge of what I've been through, take all that experience and use it. I love the challenge of trying to get back to where I've been, and beyond it.
Cathy Freeman
Twenty seconds before a race, there's absolute focus. The key thing is to achieve relaxation, but at the same to have absolute total control. You've got to find the balance between being totally ready to go and being really at peace with yourself as well.
Cathy Freeman
I took only twice a time-out, once, when I was hurt, and a second time, when I much felt I was exhausted out of personal reasons.
Cathy Freeman
I am very determined and the sport is my passion. I believe I am born for running.
Cathy Freeman
I have a friend who, if she has a bad hair day, it affects her whole mood because it is part of her sexuality, her confidence. I don't have that problem any more.
Cathy Freeman
The last sort of really low-key race I ran, I realized with about a hundred metres to go, that my heart just wasn't in it. I wasn't trying my hardest, I didn't care to compete against the girls I was up against. That spoke a lot about where my heart was taking me-which was off the track.
Cathy Freeman
I'm learning in my own sort of quiet, out-of-the-spotlight kind of way. I certainly have my general point of view about the government, and the future of our children. I'm certainly learning all the time, I'm happy to be an onlooker for now.
Cathy Freeman
I'm certainly not ready to go changing the world overnight right now. I'm completely uninformed about a lot of our issues, a lot of the nation's issues, not just Indigenous issues.
Cathy Freeman
This occasion is personally very meaningful and I hope to visit Korea again if I have the chance.
Cathy Freeman
My last real race was at the Olympics in Sydney in 2000.
