More quotes by Aimee Mullins
It's hard enough for women to walk on high heels. And I'm on stilts!
Aimee Mullins
I haven't had an easy life, but at some point ,you have to take responsibility for yourself and shape who it is that you want to be. I have no time for moaners. I like to chase my dreams and surround myself with other people who are chasing their dreams, too.
Aimee Mullins
Adversity is just change that we haven't adapted ourselves to yet.
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
If left to their own devices a child will achieve.
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
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
The legs that I have made are far more perfect than the ones nature would have given me - my mother's side of the family have awful legs.
Aimee Mullins
The idea of prosthetics is a tool. Most people's cell phones are prosthetics. If you leave your cell phone at home, you feel impacted by not having it. It's an important part of your daily function and what you can do in a day.
Aimee Mullins
I'm not an advocate for disability issues. Human issues are what interest me.
Aimee Mullins
In athletics, the idea of possibility is presumed. It's not 'if' it's 'how.'
Aimee Mullins
Half of Hollywood has more prosthetic in their body than I do, but we don't think of them as disabled. You amputate part of a nose, that's 'enhancement'. You put a prosthetic in a breast cavity, that's 'augmentation'. But you amputate part of a limb and put a prosthetic there, it's 'disability'?
Aimee Mullins
We all bullet point our triumphs, but I am who I am because of everything you don't see on my CV. The stuff that doesn't work out teaches you how to trust your instincts and adapt.
Aimee Mullins
Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It's much sexier than any body part.
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
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
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
With L'Oreal, I get to be Aimee Mullins, model. No qualifier. And that means everything to me.
Aimee Mullins
If you watch any John Hughes film of the eighties, that was my childhood experience.
Aimee Mullins
It's society that disables an individual by not investing in enough creativity to allow for someone to show us the quality that makes them rare and valuable and capable.
Aimee Mullins
