Being overseas at the time it all kind of happened was perfect because I had no idea that it was going to attract so much media attention and provoke these lovely people calling in and offering up their opinions and advice.

My mind is pretty made up that life for Cathy Freeman will be as an unmarried woman from now on.

I want to keep my private life private.

I'm not a marriage expert, quite clearly.

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

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

My story has resonated around the world. I am just Catherine, I just like to run. And I'll run with opportunities.
