Technically I can get out of my wheelchair and crawl around and do things, but when I've traveled and they've lost my wheelchair in transit, I feel like I need to be bound to it. My functionality and autonomy are often bound to this.

We did a book signing and people came up to me. There was an expectant mother who was like, "I think we might name our child Zach because of your work."

The most important thing is to have the conversation, and let people who do make mistakes feel comfortable enough to continue the conversation.

When I was a kid, I thought I would be an action-movie hero. I was like, "They're gonna be able to CGI my legs by that point." And then I realized that it was probably better if I stayed a little closer to who I actually am rather than trying to be Bruce Willis.

You really just have to have a good attitude, challenge yourself, and you can accomplish great things.

When I got my Oprah money, the first thing I bought was a really nice electronic bidet toilet seat. It just feels like this is what we should be doing. For everybody who uses it, it's like there's no goin' back.

I haven't found anything that I've wanted to say that I couldn't do through either the Internet or the reality shows that I've done.
