I have always resisted putting limitations on myself, both professionally and personally.

Why are people so interested in other people's relationships? It's like stealing.

When I was 13, I told Henry Winkler I wanted to act. He said, Do it and don't let anyone stand in your way. His validation just made it all the more true. I haven't stopped thanking him since.

I'm not broke. Like everybody else, I owe money.

When you're up for an award at the Oscars, try as you might, it's hard to concentrate on the show.

There are many deaf people who couldn't imagine living in a marriage without someone who doesn't speak their language. For me, I believe that hearing or deaf is fine as long as both parties are willing to communicate in each other's language. But if there's no communication, then the marriage, I believe, will be difficult if not doomed.

I live my life like everyone else; everyone has their own obstacles. Mine is deafness.
