Quotes
- “God made me the way I am, and I accept myself. I am who I am, and I'm proud of myself.”
- “I don't give a damn what people say about me. I like me the way I am, and who cares what other people say?”
- “Sometimes I was sad, sometimes happy. Just on and off. Always I felt welcome. It's just, you know, sometimes as a human being, you cannot always be happy. You do good things, you do bad things, people talk.”
- “I am not a fake. I am natural. I am just being Caster. I don't want to be someone I don't want to be. I don't want to be someone people want me to be. I just want to be me. I was born like this. I don't want any changes. [https://playersbio.com/caster-semenya-quotes/”
- “I am a fighter. I never give up. https://playersbio.com/caster-semenya-quotes/”
- “I'm the kind of person who doesn't really focus on more negativity. I'm a positive person, and I look at things in a positive way.”
