More quotes by 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
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
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
It's hard enough for women to walk on high heels. And I'm on stilts!
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
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
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 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
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
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.
Aimee Mullins
I'm not an advocate for disability issues. Human issues are what interest me.
Aimee Mullins
The Pentagon isn't a place that champions individuality and innovation.
Aimee Mullins
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.
Aimee Mullins
I've said this before, but I believe more than ever that confidence is sexier than any body part.
Aimee Mullins
If left to their own devices a child will achieve.
Aimee Mullins
Beauty is not skin-deep it can be a means of self-affirmation, a true indicator of personality and confidence.
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
Our responsibility is not simply shielding those we care for from adversity but preparing them to meet it well.
Aimee Mullins
You know, I think there are certain words like 'illegitimate' that should not be used to describe a person. And certainly, we have come far enough in our technology that our language can evolve, because it has an impact.
