NEW YORK (AP) -- Marion Jones has wondered if her track and field success has been an attempt to gain the attention of a father she's never really known.

 Jones, who will attempt to win five medals in the upcoming Sydney Games, talked to Time magazine about her sometimes turbulent personal life for an article in Monday's issue.

 "I would have been a daddy's girl," Jones told the magazine.

 According to Time, Jones' father, once divorced from her mother, had no input in Jones' upbringing. Jones said she does not speak to her father.

 "I've made no further attempts to get in contact with my father since I was maybe 10," Jones said. "Obviously, he's made no attempts to contact me. It's a non-factor."

 Jones described her relationship with her mother as delicate.

 "What happened there was, I got injured, and without sports, I got depressed," Jones said. "I moved away from my mom emotionally, and in college I drifted further.

 "We still don't have the typical mother-daughter relationship where she's baking me cookies, but we're comfortable. I love her, and she loves me, and we're fine."
