“I'm quite shy at school.” — Ellie Simmonds Quote

“I'm quite shy at school.”

“I'm a Scouts ambassador and I help out with dwarf sports.”

“I jumped into my parents loft where I was actually able to go through all my cards, all the newspaper cuttings that my family collected, and it made me realise just how big London 2012 was - it was huge! That was a Games that I will never, ever forget and it was definitely my highlight.”

“I try not to shy away from specificity.”

“Growing up, I was a very shy kid but I felt that being on stage or playing another character would somehow open me up. And I think it did.”

“The truth of the matter is that I used to be much more - as it were - shy. Now I don't care!”
