In sports, I refused to do any interviews that were just going to become human-interest stories. Don't turn me into a tragic heroine.

The legs that I have made are far more perfect than the ones nature would have given me - my mother's side of the family have awful legs.

Beauty is not skin-deep; it can be a means of self-affirmation, a true indicator of personality and confidence.

The power of the human will to compete and the drive to excel beyond the body's normal capabilities is most beautifully demonstrated in the arena of sport.

Success isn't winning every time. A lot of different factors go into every race, and you can't control all of them. Success means doing as excellent a job as you can on that particular day. The people I admire most aren't necessarily the most wonderful athletes. I admire the ones who keep coming back and doing it, time after time.

Adversity is just change that we haven't adapted ourselves to yet.
