When the sun is shining I can do anything; no mountain is too high, no trouble too difficult to overcome.

The triumph can't be had without the struggle.

The triumph can't be had without the struggle. And I know what struggle is. I have spent a lifetime trying to share what it has meant to be a woman first in the world of sports so that other young women have a chance to reach their dreams.

I believe in me more than anything in this world.

No matter what great things you accomplish, somebody helps you.

I tell them that the most important aspect is to be yourself and have confidence in yourself.

The feeling of accomplishment welled up inside of me, three Olympic gold medals. I knew that was something nobody could ever take away from me, ever.
