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

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.

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.

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.

The Athens Olympics will be meaningful even though I cannot participate as an athlete, since I can participate in the flame relay all over the world.

I'm drinking lots of herbal tea.

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