I hope I inspire people who hear. Hearing people have the ability to remove barriers that prevent deaf people from achieving their dreams.

I've been around since I was 19, I won the Oscar when I was 21, I've had a couple of TV series. I've continued to work despite the predictions of some naysayers.

Deaf people can do anything, except hear.

When I was 13, I told Henry Winkler I wanted to act. He said, Do it and don't let anyone stand in your way. His validation just made it all the more true. I haven't stopped thanking him since.

I have a great husband, great parents and in-laws, and I have help with a nanny. It's not easy, but there are others who do it every day and don't have a high-profile job as I do.

It was ability that mattered, not disability, which is a word I'm not crazy about using.

I got a good handshake. A lot of executives tell me I have the best handshake in Hollywood.

I have made the choices that work best for me. I know I cannot please everyone, and that's fine.

I live my life like everyone else; everyone has their own obstacles. Mine is deafness.

Silence is the last thing the world will ever hear from me.

When I learned to sign and speak at the same time, the whole world opened up to me. That's the beauty of encouraging kids who are deaf to use whatever it takes to communicate.

We each must do a better job of choosing which hardships are best for our future, not just for the company's.

Social networking platforms drove man closer to those in neighboring continents, while driving him further apart from those in his neighborhood.

And there was a beautiful view, But nobody could see.'Cause everyone in the Island was saiyng, Look at me! Look at me!

The Bible is not an option, it is a necessity. You cannot grow spiritually strong without it.

What is a staircase, but a corridor improved by elevation?

I saw his scars - the visible ones-and saw how breaking him had not made him any less beautiful. If anything, he stood stronger, because he'd survived.

By nature, most people are controlled by their emotions. They feel sad, so they look sad.

O visions ill foreseen! Better had I Liv'd ignorant of future, so had borne My part of evil only.

I just hope and pray I can die with my boots on.

Christians have abused, oppressed, enslaved, insulted, tormented, tortured, and killed people in the name of God for centuries, on the basis of a thelogically defensible reading of the Bible.
