The only true disability is a crushed spirit

Adversity is just change that we haven't adapted ourselves to yet.

Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It's much sexier than any body part.

Giving up is conceding that things will never get better, and that is just not true. Ups and downs are a constant in life, and I've been belted into that roller coaster a thousand times.

People presume my disability has to do with being an amputee, but that's not the case; our insecurities are our disabilities, and I struggle with those as does everyone.

It's society that disables an individual by not investing in enough creativity to allow for someone to show us the quality that makes them rare and valuable and capable.

Adversity isn't an obstacle that we need to get around in order to resume living our life. It's part of our life.

Our responsibility is not simply shielding those we care for from adversity but preparing them to meet it well.

It's an objective fact that I am a double amputee, but it's very subjective opinion as to whether that makes me disabled.

Belief in oneself is incredibly infectious. It generates momentum, the collective force of which far outweighs any kernel of self-doubt that may creep in.

I'm not an advocate for disability issues. Human issues are what interest me.

Clothing doesn't really change a man. But it changes how others react to him.

Cats aren’t as friendly as they appear: fur, teeth, instinct, selfishness and cunning. Essentially they’re just big rats.

Each character is a completely whole person with their problems and many sides to their personality. It's so rich with details as well, like the set.

True friendship develops not as a result of money or power but on the basis of genuine human affection.

What better way to get to know a culture than to go there and learn their sports?

I wanted to work on policy because I think it really makes a difference.

I have calmed down my look. Is it really necessary to wear all that jewelry and makeup at 7 A.M.? When you're tired, you start to over-compensate by wearing too much bling.

I think I learned years ago when I went to Hawaii that you don't bring puka shells back. You've got to be careful of your vacation purchases.

The other possibility was that there was no right thing to say, that the choice wasn't between right and wrong but between wrong, more wrong, and as wrong as you can get.

I don’t want anyone putting any limits on me.
