I'm currently doing a Soul Pancake show called Top of the Monday, which is basically a good morning news show. It's just me being silly, telling people about good news that's going on in the world, putting them in the mood to start their week.

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.

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

You want the world to be set up for you, but sometimes it just isn't.

If everything was perfect, it would always be a person-first conversation, but whenever I have the opportunity, I lead with my personality. If they're looking and seeing the disability first or the chair first, I know that I have the ability to change that.

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."

My experiences of traveling abroad and going to Italy with my father, having to break down a gigantic electric chair to get on trains. You've got three minutes. You go to Pompeii and there are shockingly few accessible hotels in a city that was covered in volcanic ash.
