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

What I don't like about the way the media portrays religion is that they seem to weaponize it and use it as a tool to divide people.

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

Most of my work is comedy; it's meant to inspire empathy in people and help them find joy.

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.

When I read the script [of Glee], the whole premise was that all the high school kids were being cruel to this kid in the wheelchair, and then the quarterback comes along and has a heart of gold and takes him out of a Porta Potty. That's too often what I see in media, that the characters with disabilities are there to make other people seem like heroes for treating the character with a disability with respect. Those are the kinds of roles that are out there.

There's a tendency to treat anyone with a physical disability as inspiring. I call it a pedestal of prejudice, in that you're lifting people up to dismiss them. My whole thing is bringing us down to everyone else's level and saying we're all the same. The struggle is the same.
