Your body is not who you are. The mind and spirit transcend the body.
And if you can channel the truth of your own experience onto the stage, that's what the audience wants to see.
Don't give up. Don't lose hope. Don't sell out.
Never accept ultimatums, conventional wisdom, or absolutes.
Once we choose hope, everything is possible.
I get pretty impatient with people who are able-bodied but are somehow paralyzed for other reasons.
