Marion Lois Jones

"You can remember me winning races, winning medals, breaking records -- but how, then, is that going to help you in your day-to-day life?"."

"I surely wish that I could go back and change certain things in my past, on one hand, but then I wouldnt be who I am today, someone who Im actually really proud of"."

"If I hadnt gone through certain things, and because I had those six months or whatever -- just a lot of quiet time -- if I hadnt gone through it, I dont know if I would ever have that much time to reflect. A lot of people dont."

"My story is unique, in that the first part of my life, my journey, I hit the pinnacle of my career, and it was a very public career, and then I made decisions that cost me all of that"."

"I still struggle with knowing that I let a lot of people down. I disappointed a lot of people that love and care for me, worldwide, and when I think about that it kind of gives me the motivation to kind of keep going on"."

"By helping people, its a form of healing for myself, because I hurt so many people. I know that"."
