I'm doing something now where I'm going to have to learn so much and that takes time nurturing, those kinds of relationships.

I'm drinking lots of herbal tea.

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

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 have been told many times that when I win I make my people proud to be Australian. I am Aboriginal, I am one of them and every time I win or am honoured like this it should be an example to Aboriginal people who may think they have nowhere to go but down. But more importantly I am an Australian and I would like to make all Australians feel proud to be Australian. Ours is a truly multicultural society and should be united as such. I would like to believe that my successes are celebrated by all Australians, bringing our nation together.

I made publicity contracts with Nike, several broadcasting companies and airline companies within Australia.
