More quotes by Clara Hughes
"I had some experience in dealing with people who have mental illness and depression, but I didn't see the signs in myself. I couldn't ask for help because I didn't know I needed help."
"I am nowhere near my limit. I just want to see if there are such things as limits. I want to go and find out."
"I want people to be inspired that I've always strived for excellence and I've always gone beyond what anybody ever thought I could do, what I thought I myself could do. And I've allowed myself to be inspired, kept my eyes open and my senses open to inspiration around me."
"I've learned what it truly means to be Canadian and in turn I've been inspired to make a difference in the world, however small it's been."
"The only reason I've shared my story is to take that tiny baby step of breaking down the stigma attached to depression."
