We're divorced from my father because he did some mean and scary things to us.

Every year, once a year, in Maryland, I go for a week and overnight camp with about 50 to 60 kids with muscular dystrophy, all ages, seven to 21. And it is really fun. I have some great friends there and wonderful counselors.

While we are living in the present, we must celebrate life every day, knowing that we are becoming history with every work, every action, every deed.

My life mission is to spread peace to the world.

I never question God. Sometimes I say, 'Why me? Why do I have such a hard life? Why do I have this disease? Why do I have siblings who died?' But then I think and say, 'Why not me?'

Expressing my feelings and then the opportunity to share it with others is just such a gift.

Wars should be fought with words, not bombs, not weapons. And calm words. I think that wars should be fought over a chessboard and a cup of something to drink.
