Part of what Special Olympics is trying to do is break down stereotypes that still exist for people. There is still a lot of fear.

We've witnessed history in the making.

People think, 'Oh my goodness! I have to do something really big.' You don't. Do what you love. There's a great quote from a poet I use all the time: 'Instead of asking what the world needs, ask yourself what you love,' because what the world needs is more people doing what they love.

I like cookies, any cookie you put in front of me - animal cookies, sugar cookies, anything crunchy.

My definition of success? Being the kind of woman that I would want to have as a friend.

I thought I had to show people that I would get in early, stay late or even all night, work on holidays. I didn't want to be the rich kid who was along for a free ride.

I like to make jokes; I consider myself a funny person. I just think making jokes about people who are in a situation beyond their control is not funny to them or their families.
