People could see in me who I am now, an Olympic champ, the best in the world.
Cathy Freeman
The thing I do best is laugh.
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

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 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 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 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
Australians are a fantastic bunch of people but the attention can be overwhelming for someone like me.
