A lot of women say they love being pregnant, but I wasn't such a big fan.
As a child I was very involved with sports and I knew at age 9 that I wanted to be an Olympic champion.
As an athlete who's used to being in peak form, it was challenging for me to watch my body totally change since I had no control over that.
But I don't believe in guilt by association.
Everywhere we go, people recognize me.
I did pretty well at the Sydney Olympics, but those were my first Games.
I like cooking - I make a good stir-fry and the family likes it when I make stewed chicken and macaroni and cheese.
I love to compete and I love to perform, but everything else - sometimes I can do without it.
I loved having my baby inside of me, but I was very happy when he was finally here.
I met Mr Conte a number of years ago, and we had a conversation or two. Did our conversation involve talking about any performance-enhancing drugs? No.
I think the people who have really followed my career from the time I was seven years old can see my steady progress and see the type of person and athlete I am.
I was going to get it done as best as possible, enjoy the moment and then we would deal with all of the accusations after the Games.
I was only 24 then, but 18 of those 24 years had been dedicated to wanting to get to that moment.
I will continue to express the fact I am for a drug-free sport and always will be.
I'm a jeans and sweats type of lady, but I think it's important to occasionally show a little bit of femininity, and I think I do anyway.
I'm a jock and I'm an athlete, and that's what I love to do.
I'm an Internet junkie.
I'm for a drug-free sport and always will be.
I'm the favorite and I'm going for five gold medals, and all of a sudden this bombshell hits my family - out of nowhere.
I've set no world record.
In my opinion, Jackie is the greatest female athlete ever.
It's hard to have a bad hair day when you're famous.
My career has always been one of the most important things, but after having a baby you find that it drops down on the totem pole.
My father wasn't really involved and my mom is the light in my life.
Nobody has ever said anything about Marion Jones every using performance-enhancing drugs and they never will.
Our lives are so hectic and full, and we have a big family right now.
The ultimate would be to compete in a couple more Olympics, hopefully break some world records and wind up my sports career with a couple of years in the WNBA.
Was I married to C J Hunter, who tested positive? Sure.
We realized that the only persons we can truly trust in this world is each other and our families.
When I'm home, I'm relaxed.
Yes, my career is still extremely important to me, but if it were to end tomorrow, I would still have my son, and that'd be OK.
You forget that sometimes people are out there to get you - they don't even have a reason.
You lose sight of that sometimes, when I'm running fast and C.J.'s throwing far and everybody is shaking your hand and patting you on the back.
