It's an objective fact that I am a double amputee, but it's very subjective opinion as to whether that makes me disabled.

In athletics, the idea of possibility is presumed. It's not 'if;' it's 'how.'

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

I've had journalists asking me, 'What do we call you - is it handicapped, are you disabled, physically challenged?' 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 think that everyone has something about themselves that they feel is their weakness... their 'disability.' And I'm certain we all have one, because I think of a disability as being anything which undermines our belief and confidence in our own abilities.

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

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.
