Aimee Mullins quotes about
life-is
Life is about making your own happiness - and living by your own rules.
issues people groups
I'm not an advocate for disability issues. Human issues are what interest me. You can't possibly speak for a diverse group of people. I don't know what it's like to be an arm amputee, or have even one flesh-and-bone leg, or to have cerebral palsy.
body disabled prosthetics
Pamela Anderson has more prosthetic in her body than I do. Nobody calls her disabled.
facts amputees opinion
It's an objective fact that I am a double amputee, but it's very subjective opinion as to whether that makes me disabled.
ideas possibility athletics
In athletics, the idea of possibility is presumed. It's not 'if;' it's 'how.'
children world firsts
Sure, I'd love to have children some day. But world domination comes first.
beautiful sleep kissing
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. If it's putting on a great dance record and rocking out in your apartment, do it. If kissing someone for 10 minutes makes you feel confident, do it.
home night paper
I had a paper round and every night I would put the dinner on before Mum came home from work. I was capable because I had to be.
believe body i-believe
I've said this before, but I believe more than ever that confidence is sexier than any body part.
childhood watches film
If you watch any John Hughes film of the eighties, that was my childhood experience.
sports stories interviews
In sports, I refused to do any interviews that were just going to become human-interest stories. Don't turn me into a tragic heroine.
innovation champion individuality
The Pentagon isn't a place that champions individuality and innovation.
girl softball player
I have learned not to overlook the advantages of being me. From when I was a softball player, and I held the stolen bases record. I would slide into second with my prostheses, and the girl on the base could either step aside or meet two wooden sticks.
home phones cells
The idea of prosthetics is a tool. Most peoples cell phones are prosthetics. If you leave your cell phone at home, you feel impacted by not having it. Its an important part of your daily function and what you can do in a day.
