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.

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.

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

I have always had confidence in my own ability.

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