I Want To Keep My

I Want To Be A Positive Role Model, Especially For Kids And Aboriginal People... When People See Me, Often All They See Is Another Australian Athlete Having A Go. It Isn't Until They See The Full Cathy Freeman Picture That They Realise How Proud I Am Of My Ancestry And Heritage. I'd Like A Little More Tolerance And Acceptance Of My Culture And All The Differing Cultures That Make Up Australia.

I Don't Like People Looking At Me; I Hate The Attention.

I Felt So Full Of Gratitude And Humility That I Clasped My Hands In Front Of Me, Closed My Eyes And Said A Silent Prayer Of Thanks To God... I Had At Last Achieved Something I'd Wanted For So Long... My Insides Bubbled With Happiness. It Was A Dream Come True.

Money Makes Life Easier But I Don't Want To Be Rich, Not At All.

I've Had My Fair Share Of Being Dismissed. But I'm Only About To Turn 30. And When I Finish Running, I'm Going To Be A Dangerous Woman.
