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.

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

Pamela Anderson has more prosthetic in her body than I do. Nobody calls her disabled.
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
Our responsibility is not simply shielding those we care for from adversity but preparing them to meet it well.
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
Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It's much sexier than any body part.
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
With L'Oreal, I get to be Aimee Mullins, model. No qualifier. And that means everything to me.
Aimee Mullins
A lot of my life is about will - having the will to prove what my body can do.
Aimee Mullins
Life is about making your own happiness - and living by your own rules.
Aimee Mullins
I'm not an advocate for disability issues. Human issues are what interest me.
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
The Pentagon isn't a place that champions individuality and innovation.
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
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
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
Success isn't winning every time. A lot of different factors go into every race, and you can't control all of them. Success means doing as excellent a job as you can on that particular day. The people I admire most aren't necessarily the most wonderful athletes. I admire the ones who keep coming back and doing it, time after time.
