Aimee Mullins

If you watch any John Hughes film of the eighties, that was my childhood experience.

When I'm curious about something, I do it full on and take it as far as I go, but when I feel like I've really explored it, I'm OK with putting it aside and going on to something else.

Giving up is conceding that things will never get better, and that is just not true. Ups and downs are a constant in life, and I've been belted into that roller coaster a thousand times.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I enjoy the process of TV; I like the pace of it; I like the continual work.

My feeling for reality TV isn't ironic, guilty, or apologetic. Reality TV is one of the few remaining modes of popular entertainment in which characterization is permitted as plot.
