Everyone who was here [Sheraton Universal Hotel] when I won still works here, so the two biggest moments in my career are intersecting. It's so cool that I can say "hi" to everybody.

Call yourself and define your relationship to your chair the way you want to, or your disability the way you want to.

I feel that religion can be used as a tool to guide your life and help you connect with other people.

I always say, once I get in a room, I can sell myself just fine. I know that not everyone who has a disability has the social skills or cognitive skills that I do, and it may be harder for them to navigate through.

I didn't have a girlfriend until I was 29, and I thought it was because I'm in a wheelchair. And I realized that it's not that, it's because I listened to what the dismissive part of society was telling me and accepted it as truth. There was nothing that was keeping me from dating or falling in love other than the fact that I was scared of being rejected. And everybody has that fear. That's a universal thing.

There's always going to be some hate on the Internet.

I make funny shows and put a positive message out there, showing people who have body image issues that... you don't have to look a certain way.
