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

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.

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

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

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

Peace, unity and harmony!

I want to keep my private life private.
