More quotes by 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
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'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
This occasion is personally very meaningful and I hope to visit Korea again if I have the chance.
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
For athletes traditionally it's such a fantastic stepping stone to greater things down the track and in the future. Don't undermine the Commonwealth Games!
Cathy Freeman
I'm doing something now where I'm going to have to learn so much and that takes time nurturing, those kinds of relationships.

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 like looking feminine and I enjoy being a role model. I enjoy being a woman. It all comes down to having the confidence to be who you are.
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
I am very determined and the sport is my passion. I believe I am born for running.
Cathy Freeman
Peace, unity and harmony!
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 don't have a lot of regrets in my life.
Cathy Freeman
I'm drinking lots of herbal tea.
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
My feelings tried to control me on my run. I had to concentrate fully on forthcoming running and success. I wanted to triumph.
Cathy Freeman
Money makes life easier but I don't want to be rich, not at all.
