It's important to me that I look good on television because, let's face it, I'm single, and you want somebody to watch the show and fall in love with you

One of the things I did when I was in New York, which has a wonderful deaf community, is I have worked on making Broadway more accessible to deaf people.

Street performers, homemade crafts, keep your wallet in your front pocket and don't buy any crap!

If I were thin, I'd never say 'I am powerless over fudge.' a) I can't believe I actually ever said that. b) Which, of course, isn't to say that I do have any power over fudge. Particularly if it has nuts.

You can either destroy your spirit or you can accept and love yourself just the way you are.

One of my earliest memories is of my father carrying me in one arm with a picket sign in the other.

I placed over a thousand deaf people in jobs throughout my career working for the deaf.
