Do not sit next to my mother when she is watching one of her children compete because you will have fingernails down your back. She is a nervous wreck.

I am very proud of my mom and consider her the most courageous woman I know. With perseverance, sacrifice and hard work, she raised a family of Olympic athletes and gave us the tools and the spirit to succeed. That is something that my brothers and I will always be thankful for.

My mother was a master juggler. If you ask her, she'll say she was a wreck. There's plenty of screaming that went on in the house, but I think it was necessary just to be heard. There were eight children!

My mother was in vaudeville, but after she had her children, she quit working.

Do you mind if I sit back a little? Because your breath is very bad.

We've never played against each other. Mom's a nervous wreck. It adds something to the game for me and him. They're having a great season. Once you start winning, it's easy to keep winning.
