I would love to do different things, like behind-the-scenes work - just like Ron Howard!

Larry Drake - I love his work... He plays a very disabled character like the role I'm playing.

Back in those days, a parent looked at the disability and didn't see the ability. 'Life Goes On' showed that people with a disability can be included. Just give them a chance and let them learn. That's what the show was trying to teach.

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.

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.

Corky is the one who never gives up. I never gave up. He faces obstacles, and he couldn't always reach his goals. But he tries to reach his dreams.

Corky is an ordinary person who does extraordinary things. He is a true inspiration, but he doesn't know that he's an inspiration.
