Quote

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.

If you watch any John Hughes film of the eighties, that was my childhood experience.

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
Image
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.

True beauty is when someone radiates that they like themselves.

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.

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

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.

The Pentagon isn't a place that champions individuality and innovation.

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

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

Image
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'?

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.

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.
Aimee Mullins
Image
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.

Sure, I'd love to have children some day. But world domination comes first.
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.
