More quotes by Cathy Freeman
I don't have a lot of regrets in my life.
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
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 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 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
People could see in me who I am now, an Olympic champ, the best in the world.

Cathy Freeman
With Alexander's cancer, I was definitely brought to my knees for the first time because of the fear factor.
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
My last real race was at the Olympics in Sydney in 2000.
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 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
When I'm in a bad mood, I don't listen.
Cathy Freeman
Australians are a fantastic bunch of people but the attention can be overwhelming for someone like me.
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.
