Women's sport is genuine, it's pure and it's raw... we don't do it for the money.

I feel a lot of support from the people of Penrith and the Blue Mountains and will always remember the amazing welcome home I received after the London Olympics. But more importantly, it's during hard times that Westies come together.

When you surround yourself with like-minded athletes who are all going through the same thing as you, it gives you more drive and strength to get through those moments when you don't want to do it any more, when you think it's hard.

I'm definitely Australian and wouldn't have it any other way. I've been formed as an athlete in Australia.

I know people know how good I am playing basketball... All I do is just use it as motivation: keep getting better, keep doing the same stuff and doing it even better.

For me, Paralympic sport isn't about being the best human being. It's about being the best human being with that particular level of disability.

Being an athlete in a cold-weather sport is really difficult to deal with the asthma.

I like low-maintenance girls, but at the same time, classy. She needs to take care of herself. But also be a girl who isn't afraid to get sweaty and play basketball, so it's cool if she's a tomboy.
