Belief in oneself is incredibly infectious. It generates momentum, the collective force of which far outweighs any kernel of self-doubt that may creep in.

If left to their own devices a child will achieve.

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

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.

I've said this before, but I believe more than ever that confidence is sexier than any body part.
