I still find it strange, I suppose, when I say to someone, 'Can you just pass me my leg?' But I don't ever think about my disability.

You're not disabled by the disabilities you have, you are able by the abilities you have.

I have a strong sense that I have to educate people about disability.

I grew up not really thinking I had a disability. I grew up thinking I had different shoes.

The only disability in life is having a bad attitude

It's impossible to make everyone happy. Some will choose to see the negative. None is perfect but find a way of loving them perfectly!

There is a big difference between being good and being great.

I'd like to show people that if you put the hard work in and you believe in yourself, then you can do whatever you want to.

I don't see myself as disabled. There's nothing I can't do that able-bodied athletes can do.

The more I accomplish, the more pressure I put on myself.

Thank you to everyone that has made me the athlete I am! God, family and friends, my competitors and supporters! You have all had a hand!

This is called ‘Black Box’, for the girl who holds the key to mine.

Jealousy. It's a terrible thing. Unless it's someone else's.

Ask yourself the question: If I don't do it, who will? If you find the answer is no one will do it, then do it yourself.

I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

I've been given the opportunity to be alive in this day and age, and it's rare.

Extraordinary people visualize not what is possible or probable, but rather what is impossible. And by visualizing the impossible, they begin to see it as possible.

I stopped working a few years ago because I just lost a spark that I'd had before. I thought I'd just try writing, and maybe start directing, but I did it very quietly.

The reproduction of what the senses perceive in nature through the veil of the soul.

Some say I do it this way, others say I do it that way, but I say I do it the other way.

Just say the lines and don't trip over the furniture.
