Quote

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.

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.

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.

There’s an important difference and distinction between the objective medical fact of my being an amputee and the subjective societal opinion of whether or not I’m disabled. Truthfully, the only real and consistent disability I’ve had to confront is the world ever thinking that I could be described by those definitions.

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.

I have learned not to overlook the advantages of being me. From when I was a softball player, and I held the stolen bases record. I would slide into second with my prostheses, and the girl on the base could either step aside or meet two wooden sticks.

Adversity is just change that we haven't adapted ourselves to yet.

If we want to discover the full potential in our humanity, we need to celebrate those heartbreaking strengths and those glorious disabilities that we all have...it is our humanity, and all the potential within it that makes us beautiful.

It's hard enough for women to walk on high heels. And I'm on stilts!

I'm not an advocate for disability issues. Human issues are what interest me.

Adversity isn't an obstacle that we need to get around in order to resume living our life. It's part of our life.

A lot of my life is about will - having the will to prove what my body can do.
Aimee Mullins
Image
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
Image
I hate the words 'handicapped' and 'disabled'. They imply that you are less than whole. I don't see myself that way at all.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
