Aimee Mullins

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

I'm not running around as a continual ray of sunshine. It's just I don't believe in wasting time feeling sorry for myself. Get over it.

Whether it is your height, your weight or your skin, someone is going to pick on something and make fun of it. My legs were just a more obvious target.

Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.

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

I have always had confidence in my own ability.
