I don't like to be different; I would like to be the same.

Having Down syndrome is like being born normal. I am just like you and you are just like me. We are all born in different ways, that is the way I can describe it. I have a normal life.

Its not our disabilities, its our abilities that count.

Don't give up on the child. Give the child an education. Give them daily love.

I'd like to be the role model to teach other people who have Down's syndrome to be actors and actresses and to be themselves and not try to be a big shot.

I was like Gene Kelly, it was called singing in the rain. No seriously, I wasn't really born with a singing voice, but my friends Joe and John taught me how to sing.

I could make a difference.

I want to be a professional.

I just want to be like other people that are normal.

I have a motto on my bedroom wall: 'Obstacles are what you see when you take your eye off the goal.' Giving up is not my style. I just want to do something that's worthwhile.

I don't really have Down's syndrome; I just have a slight case of it.

Everything, really, has this quality of sacredness, but we can desecrate it at a touch. How strange man is! His touch defiles and yet he contains the source of miracles.

Sleep that knits up the raveled sleave of care, The death of each day's life, sore labor's bath, Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, Chief nourisher in life's feast.

Repeal all laws which assume that mankind is a herd of cattle

...The body is affected by the image of the thing, in the same way as if the thing were actually present.

What am I that I am called upon to have prejudices concerning the universe?

Just as the formation of the family is basic to the formation of the state, so the states themselves are the only units that can form the basic constitution of a viable international organization.

Truth is God, and Truth overrides all our plans. The whole Truth is only embodied within the heart of Great Power-Truth.

Some are good, some are middling, the most are bad.

Once you considered failure you were one step farther away from success.

I have to prove myself in a lot of ways - as an actor, as a person, as someone who can handle pressure.
