“I have no time for moaners. I like to chase my dreams and surround myself with other people who are chasing their dreams, too.”

I hate the words ‘handicapped’ and ‘disabled’. They imply that you are less than whole. I don’t see myself that way at all.

The power of the human will to compete and the drive to excel beyond the body’s normal capabilities is most beautifully demonstrated in the arena of sport.

For me, I never ever felt the ownership or any identity with any community of disabilities. I didn’t grow up being told that I was a disabled child.

Everyone is really afraid of getting out there and not being good. That’s the challenge:

Pamela Anderson has more prosthetic in her body than I do. Nobody calls her disabled.

The best beauty secret, besides sleep and plenty of water, is do whatever it is – before you go out, before you need to feel beautiful – do whatever makes you feel confident.

You know those adages about smelling the roses and chasing butterflies? The markets are my butterflies and my roses.

I was always chasing Taylor, trying to keep up with him.

The dreams we are chasing and the reality that is chasing us are always parallel; they never meet.

The you who is chasing enlightenment will never become enlightened. Instead of striving towards some distant goal that you will never reach,
