I get pretty impatient with people who are able-bodied but are somehow paralyzed for other reasons.

At some time, often when we least expect it, we all have to face overwhelming challenges. When the unthinkable happens, the lighthouse is hope. Once we find it, we must cling to it with absolute determination. When we have hope, we discover powers within ourselves we may have never known- the power to make sacrifices, to endure, to heal, and to love. Once we choose hope, everything is possible.

If I can laugh, I can live.

Even though I don't personally believe in the Lord, I try to behave as though He was watching.

I refuse to allow a disability to determine how I live my life. There is only one way to go in life and that is forward.

All the scientists who are working on solving the problem of curing paralysis say that it won't do you any good if you don't keep your body in shape.

Having that college-town atmosphere with a live repertory company available was a real gift. I found myself gravitating toward the theater from about the age of nine. I guess it was the environment that got me started.
