“Growing up, I was aware of being a dwarf but I felt I could do anythin...” — Ellie Simmonds Quote

“Growing up, I was aware of being a dwarf but I felt I could do anything.”

“In Beijing when the Chinese athletes had a massive roar that gave me a buzz pretending they were shouting for me.”

“I don't want to be stuck up. I'm just a normal person. My friends think of me as a normal friend, and I like that.”

“I think when average-size people start taking roles that were meant for dwarfs, that's a little frustrating because there aren't that many roles out there for height-challenged actors.”

“A dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant may see farther than a giant himself.”

“Bigotry dwarfs the soul by shutting out the truth.”
