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.

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
Image
Our responsibility is not simply shielding those we care for from adversity but preparing them to meet it well.
Aimee Mullins
Image
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.

A lot of my life is about will - having the will to prove what my body can do.

Pamela Anderson has more prosthetic in her body than I do. Nobody calls her disabled.

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

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

Image
Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It's much sexier than any body part.
Aimee Mullins
Image
I've had journalists asking me, 'What do we call you - is it handicapped, are you disabled, physically challenged?' I said, 'Well hopefully you could just call me Aimee. But if you have to describe it, I'm a bilateral below-the-knee amputee.'
Aimee Mullins
Image
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
Image
I've said this before, but I believe more than ever that confidence is sexier than any body part.

Image
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
Image
In athletics, the idea of possibility is presumed. It's not 'if' it's 'how.'
Aimee Mullins
Image
Sure, I'd love to have children some day. But world domination comes first.
Aimee Mullins
Image
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'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.
