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.

More quotes by Aimee Mullins
I'm not an advocate for disability issues. Human issues are what interest me.
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
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
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
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.
Aimee Mullins
If left to their own devices a child will achieve.
Aimee Mullins
If you watch any John Hughes film of the eighties, that was my childhood experience.
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
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
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
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
Our responsibility is not simply shielding those we care for from adversity but preparing them to meet it well.
Aimee Mullins
A lot of my life is about will - having the will to prove what my body can do.
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
I've said this before, but I believe more than ever that confidence is sexier than any body part.
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
The only true disability is a crushed spirit
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.
Aimee Mullins
It's hard enough for women to walk on high heels. And I'm on stilts!
Aimee Mullins
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.
