“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.”

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

When I watch Mad Men and I see the patronising attitudes to women that are so shocking for all of us to watch now,

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.

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.

I said, ‘Well hopefully you could just call me Aimee. But if you have to describe it, I’m a bilateral below-the-knee amputee.’

I feel that I’ve lived and see the same evolution in this regard around disability.

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

People presume my disability has to do with being an amputee, but that’s not the case.

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

If left to their own devices a child will achieve.

Half of Hollywood has more prosthetic in their body than I do, but we don’t think of them as disabled.

A lot of my life is about will – having the will to prove what my body can do.

Life is about making your own happiness – and living by your own rules.

I admire the ones who keep coming back and doing it, time after time.

The value of indigenous communities needs to be recognized and their full participation in society supported.

Racial pride and self-dignity were emphasized in my family and community.

A vote for Republicans is a vote for safe communities, great jobs, and a limitless future

We call communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things.

The arts community still has a long lasting cynicism of the importance, or the artistic value, of comedy. Comedy is just farting about for money.

Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries unite!

When you believe in something and believe in your community, no one can stop you from creating change.

The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.
