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

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

My mother taught me very early to believe I could achieve any accomplishment I wanted to. The first was to walk without braces.

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.

But when you come from a large, wonderful family, there's always a way to achieve your goals.

The potential for greatness lives within us all.

Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose.
