More quotes by Aimee Mullins
I had a paper round and every night I would put the dinner on before Mum came home from work. I was capable because I had to be.
Aimee Mullins
When I watch Mad Men and I see the patronising attitudes to women that are so shocking for all of us to watch now, I feel that I've lived and see the same evolution in this regard around disability.
Aimee Mullins
Adversity is just change that we haven't adapted ourselves to yet.
Aimee Mullins
In athletics, the idea of possibility is presumed. It's not 'if' it's 'how.'
Aimee Mullins
Belief in oneself is incredibly infectious. It generates momentum, the collective force of which far outweighs any kernel of self-doubt that may creep in.
Aimee Mullins
I hate the words 'handicapped' and 'disabled'. They imply that you are less than whole. I don't see myself that way at all.
Aimee Mullins
People presume my disability has to do with being an amputee, but that's not the case our insecurities are our disabilities, and I struggle with those as does everyone.
Aimee Mullins
For me, I never ever felt the ownership or any identity with any community of disabilities. I didn't grow up being told that I was a disabled child.
Aimee Mullins
Pamela Anderson has more prosthetic in her body than I do. Nobody calls her disabled.
Aimee Mullins
The power of the human will to compete and the drive to excel beyond the body's normal capabilities is most beautifully demonstrated in the arena of sport.
Aimee Mullins
It's an objective fact that I am a double amputee, but it's very subjective opinion as to whether that makes me disabled.
Aimee Mullins
It's hard enough for women to walk on high heels. And I'm on stilts!
Aimee Mullins
A lot of my life is about will - having the will to prove what my body can do.
Aimee Mullins
I like that Pilates compromises the mind and body. It's not just about being able to run around the block a few times. It's about alleviating stress and controlling breathing. It's about being balanced.
Aimee Mullins
The only true disability is a crushed spirit
Aimee Mullins
Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It's much sexier than any body part.
Aimee Mullins
I've had journalists asking me, 'What do we call you - is it handicapped, are you disabled, physically challenged?' I said, 'Well hopefully you could just call me Aimee. But if you have to describe it, I'm a bilateral below-the-knee amputee.'
Aimee Mullins
I think that everyone has something about themselves that they feel is their weakness... their 'disability.' And I'm certain we all have one, because I think of a disability as being anything which undermines our belief and confidence in our own abilities.
Aimee Mullins
Sure, I'd love to have children some day. But world domination comes first.
Aimee Mullins
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.
