I love working on 'Glee,' and I hope that there are more and more parts for me and other actors with Down syndrome in television and in movies so I can keep working for a long, long time.

I get mail from people all over the world now from people who tell me that they didn't really understand Down syndrome, but because of me they have read about it and studied it and now they know a lot more about it.

Different isn't bad, it's just different.

I've spoken in front of members of the U.S. Congress about a new dream of living in communities where everybody is welcome and everyone can live and go to school and work without facing the fear of bullies.

I hope that when people with Down's see me, they will be inspired to do more than they think they can.

It feels amazing to be a role model for people with and without disabilities.

I want to live in a world where people care about others, and try not to hurt others with words or actions.
