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.

A kid is something precious, and you want to protect it and keep it fun. I'm not a dad, but I've seen people and how they behave with their kids.

Keep your feet on the ground and your thoughts at lofty heights.

If a horse has four legs, and I'm riding it, I think I can win.
