More quotes by Aimee Mullins
At some point in every person's life, you will need an assisted medical device - whether it's your glasses, your contacts, or as you age and you have a hip replacement or a knee replacement or a pacemaker. The prosthetic generation is all around us.
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
If you watch any John Hughes film of the eighties, that was my childhood experience.
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
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
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
In sports, I refused to do any interviews that were just going to become human-interest stories. Don't turn me into a tragic heroine.
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
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
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.
Aimee Mullins
In athletics, the idea of possibility is presumed. It's not 'if' it's 'how.'
Aimee Mullins
I'm not an advocate for disability issues. Human issues are what interest me.
Aimee Mullins
If left to their own devices a child will achieve.
Aimee Mullins
I've said this before, but I believe more than ever that confidence is sexier than any body part.
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'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
Pamela Anderson has more prosthetic in her body than I do. Nobody calls her disabled.
Aimee Mullins
With L'Oreal, I get to be Aimee Mullins, model. No qualifier. And that means everything to me.
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.
