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.

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 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
Peace, unity and harmony!

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.

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
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'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
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
My last real race was at the Olympics in Sydney in 2000.
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 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 not a marriage expert, quite clearly.
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.
