I'd like to see as many sports as I can because I have never had the chance to enjoy the other sports in the past.

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

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

I decided that I was going to go to the Olympics to see if I had made the right decision to retire because I knew that if I'd made the mistake of retiring I would know during and after those Games in Athens.

For athletes traditionally it's such a fantastic stepping stone to greater things down the track and in the future. Don't undermine the Commonwealth Games!

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 quite clearly have made the right decision in my heart, retirement was the way.
