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.
childhood watches film
If you watch any John Hughes film of the eighties, that was my childhood experience.
believe body i-believe
I've said this before, but I believe more than ever that confidence is sexier than any body part.
issues disability cerebral-palsy
I'm not an advocate for disability issues. Human issues are what interest me.
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.
glasses age needs
At some point in every person's life, you will need an assisted medical device - whether it's your glasses, your contacts, or as you age and you have a hip replacement or a knee replacement or a pacemaker. The prosthetic generation is all around us.
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.
technology thinking impact
You know, I think there are certain words like 'illegitimate' that should not be used to describe a person. And certainly, we have come far enough in our technology that our language can evolve, because it has an impact.
who-i-am work-out bullets
We all bullet point our triumphs, but I am who I am because of everything you don't see on my CV. The stuff that doesn't work out teaches you how to trust your instincts and adapt.
children world firsts
Sure, I'd love to have children some day. But world domination comes first.
running stress block
I like that Pilates compromises the mind and body. It's not just about being able to run around the block a few times. It's about alleviating stress and controlling breathing. It's about being balanced.
ideas possibility athletics
In athletics, the idea of possibility is presumed. It's not 'if;' it's 'how.'
curious feels
When I'm curious about something, I do it full on and take it as far as I go, but when I feel like I've really explored it, I'm OK with putting it aside and going on to something else.
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.
