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.

I am optimistic. But I also know that, with time, I'm beginning to fight issues of aging as well as long-term paralysis.

I have no bones to pick and no fight with society. And I'm willing to be and interested in being in the mainstream of society.

People may never understand this - and perhaps I should give up caring whether they do or not - but the idea of me playing Superman is so far away from what I was brought up to aspire to.

Never accept ultimatums, conventional wisdom, or absolutes.

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

When we turn our attention away from ourselves, our potential is limitless.
