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
Money makes life easier but I don't want to be rich, not at all.
Cathy Freeman

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
My last real race was at the Olympics in Sydney in 2000.
Cathy Freeman
I'm not a marriage expert, quite clearly.
Cathy Freeman
Disappointment and adversity can be catalysts for greatness. There's something particularly exciting about being the hunter, as opposed to the hunted. And that can make for powerful energy.
Cathy Freeman
I made my first Australian senior team when I was 16, first Olympics when I was 19, and I retired. I'm 32, I retired four years ago, so a good third of my life or nearly a third of my life has been all about running.
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
I am very determined and the sport is my passion. I believe I am born for running.
Cathy Freeman
The Athens Olympics will be meaningful even though I cannot participate as an athlete, since I can participate in the flame relay all over the world.
