 I definitely do things on my terms, it may not seem that way but I actually do. |
| I make no apologies. |
| I like being in the workforce; it keeps me grounded. |
| 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. |
| I was always surrounded by expectation from the very first race I ran as a 5-year-old. |
| Australians are a fantastic bunch of people but the attention can be overwhelming for someone like me. |
| This occasion is personally very meaningful and I hope to visit Korea again if I have the chance. |
| I'm not a marriage expert, quite clearly. |
| 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. |
| When I'm in a bad mood, I don't listen. |
| 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. |
| My last real race was at the Olympics in Sydney in 2000. |
| I want to keep my private life private. |
| I don't agree with everything Madonna's done but she is fearless. |
| I'm so lucky. I have such a great support system. All I have to do is run. |
| I have time to breathe, time to be myself more often, I am a lot more relaxed and less guarded. |
| Between 1991 and 1997 I had really serious asthma. |
| Peace, unity and harmony! |
| You got to try and reach for the stars or try and achieve the unreachable. |
| The thing I do best is laugh. |
