The thing I do best is laugh.

You got to try and reach for the stars or try and achieve the unreachable.

When I'm in a bad mood, I don't listen.

The thing I do best is laugh.

I definitely do things on my terms, it may not seem that way but I actually do.

This occasion is personally very meaningful and I hope to visit Korea again if I have the chance.

I don't have a lot of regrets in my life.

I was always surrounded by expectation from the very first race I ran as a 5-year-old.

Money makes life easier but I don't want to be rich, not at all.

I'm so lucky. I have such a great support system. All I have to do is run.

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.

I lie around the floor with my cats Billy and Jazz or watch DVDs with my best friends.

I don't like people looking at me; I hate the attention.

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.

I was going to shave it. It went in two parts. I got a bob first but it kept falling all over my face. Then it was off, short. The main reason it was long was because my mother cut it short when I was little and I was trying to make up for that.

My last real race was at the Olympics in Sydney in 2000.

With Alexander's cancer, I was definitely brought to my knees for the first time because of the fear factor.

I'm not a marriage expert, quite clearly.

I want to keep my private life private.

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.

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

I don't agree with everything Madonna's done but she is fearless.

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.

People could see in me who I am now, an Olympic champ, the best in the world.

I think the greatest amount of pressure is the pressure I place on myself. So in a way I chose to be alone.

I like being in the workforce; it keeps me grounded.

I make no apologies.

I have time to breathe, time to be myself more often, I am a lot more relaxed and less guarded.

Peace, unity and harmony!

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.

Between 1991 and 1997 I had really serious asthma.

Asthma is treatable and well can be controlled.

When Im in a bad mood I dont listen.

Our economic freedom is founded on individual property rights; government should never be permitted to take those away.

We have a responsibility to protect public housing residents from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke, especially the elderly and children who suffer from asthma and other respiratory diseases.

Maaele Adumim is part of Israel. Gush Etzion is part of Israel.

Let's just say I'm a physical guy.

I was 11 and watching soap operas with my mom, and I thought it would be cool to be an actor. I thought soap operas was going to be the dream at the time - it's obviously now not the dream, but I think soap operas are really cool. Maybe I'll go back to that.

I love L.A. for the beach and stuff, that's the reason I live here.

So that would be a classic mixed message to young women: you should look a certain way that's going to destroy your reproductive system and your sexual appetite, but at the same time, you should be interested in sex!

Do not leave yourself or your family unprotected against financial storms... Build up savings.

The test of any man lies in action.

I went on a long trip through South America with Prince Charles where I was the only journalist there - a couple of photographers but no other writers.

It makes you a better person to know where you came from because whereever you go there is somebody in some town city hamlet whatever that has the same dreams you have.

Money has stepped to the forefront of everything.

I think I have a dualistic nature.

Aptitude found in the understanding and is often inherited. Genius coming from reason and imagination, rarely.

The feeling is constantly growing on me that I had been the first to hear the greeting of one planet to another.

Artists live in unknown spaces and give themselves over to following something unknown.
