I had been carpooling kids for 33 years.
'Can't Stop the Music' has become a cult film. It's kind of shocking to me. People come up to me all the time and say, 'I just saw it!'
I'm very laid back, easy. There's nothing better in life than seeing your kids do well.
I probably went all the way to junior high school before a school doctor told me that I was 'dyslexic.'
If you want to call me names, make jokes and doubt my intentions, go ahead, because the reality is I can take it.
I never wanted to hurt anyone else, most of all my family and my kids.
I never went after fame. It fell into my lap.
Honestly, since the Diane Sawyer piece, every day it's like, it's exciting to go to the mailbox... Because I get letters every day from all of these people from all over the world.
Gamble, cheat, lie, and steal. Let me explain: Gamble for your best shot in life - dare to take risks. Cheat those who would have you be less than you are. Lie in the arms of those you love. And finally, steal every moment of happiness.
I met Arthur Ashe a few times. I know how important education was to him.
I am not a spokesperson for the trans community, I am not. The media kind of projects me as being the spokesperson, but from my standpoint, I am not. I am a spokesperson for my story, and that's all I can tell.
If I can make a dollar, I certainly am not stupid.
I called Daley Thompson after the Games of '84, when he won. He'd had this phenomenal decathlon for nine events - and then he went out there and jogged the 1,500 meters and missed the world record by, like, three points.
The next great decathlete is going to be a runner. I still feel that a Dan O'Brien, if he was a runner and not a sprinter, could have gone over 9,000 points.
