He says:
"Sadly clearly there are still people today that react to me and others with a disability in the street, with resentment or bullying, that is a pity!
Now I am glad to be able to make my dreams come true and to be able to work with many great actors - despite and because of Down syndrome!
I want to tell all people with trisomie 21: It's worth the fight!
Even though parents and teachers in the past where glad if we could read and write a few words, we have still so much more potential!"
