“People should have goals, and that doesn't have to be Paralympic goals...” — Tanni Grey-Thompson Quote

People should have goals, and that doesn't have to be Paralympic goals or even high-profile stuff because actually most people don't want to do stuff like that. Most people's goals are about getting a different job or a better job or doing something with the kids.

My husband Ian and I decided to try for a baby after the Sydney Paralympics, and I got pregnant quite quickly. But I hated every minute of being pregnant.

My parents were amazing because they just did not tolerate discrimination and way before we talked about medical model or inclusion or any of that, they did not know any of that stuff, but they just knew that the right thing to do was to educate and include me in society.

My political views are left of centre but I think there are a lot of advantages of being a cross-bencher because you can vote with your heart, and in any case, I believe sport should be non-political.

Do I respect my competition? Yeah. Do I always think that I could do a better job? Of course.

It is only when there is the supervision and critical oversight from the people that the government will be in a position to do an even better job, and employees of government departments will be the true public servants of the people.

The better job we do of getting the right fans in the right seats at the right time, the more money our clients are going to make.

We need to do a better job of loving each other beyond race, beyond belief, beyond our difference.

People always put me completely out of the game, and that's even nicer because nobody expects you to do a good job and then you do a better job than everybody thinks and it's nicer.
