Beauty is not skin-deep it can be a means of self-affirmation, a true indicator of personality and confidence.

More quotes by Aimee Mullins
I've said this before, but I believe more than ever that confidence is sexier than any body part.
Aimee Mullins
An athlete experiences the emotions of pain and elation through triumph and defeat, through teamwork and individuality, as nothing more than a human being...that is the true glory of sport.
Aimee Mullins
Adversity is just change that we haven't adapted ourselves to yet.
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
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
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
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
Our responsibility is not simply shielding those we care for from adversity but preparing them to meet it well.
Aimee Mullins
The best beauty secret, besides sleep and plenty of water, is do whatever it is - before you go out, before you need to feel beautiful - do whatever makes you feel confident. If it’s putting on a great dance record and rocking out in your apartment, do it. If kissing someone for 10 minutes makes you feel confident, do it.
Aimee Mullins
A lot of my life is about will - having the will to prove what my body can do.
Aimee Mullins
If left to their own devices a child will achieve.
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
Adversity isn't an obstacle that we need to get around in order to resume living our life. It's part of our life.
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
With L'Oreal, I get to be Aimee Mullins, model. No qualifier. And that means everything to me.
Aimee Mullins
I'm not an advocate for disability issues. Human issues are what interest me. You can't possibly speak for a diverse group of people. I don't know what it's like to be an arm amputee, or have even one flesh-and-bone leg, or to have cerebral palsy.
Aimee Mullins
Life is about making your own happiness - and living by your own rules.
Aimee Mullins
It's hard enough for women to walk on high heels. And I'm on stilts!
Aimee Mullins
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.
