Writing every day across nine time zones because Gillian [Grassie] was in Berlin, and we were working together via Skype. It was pretty intense. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

I realized that I was a really, really terrible actor. I was like, I'd better be myself.

When I was a kid, I thought I would be an action-movie hero. I was like, They're gonna be able to CGI my legs by that point. And then I realized that it was probably better if I stayed a little closer to who I actually am rather than trying to be Bruce Willis.

I haven't spoken to Oprah herself. She had so much going on, since her network show was wrapping up at the time we were shooting. I can't fault her for that.

There's a whole chapter about my unfortunate manscaping accident. I was so focused on, I've got to look this certain way and do this to be ready for this. So I missed out on a lot.

I have a confession: I have no faith.

I do a lot of conferences, and I did a campaign with the Cerebral Palsy Foundation called Just Say Hi. They get celebrities to record little messages about how you start a conversation with someone who has a disability, which is to Just say hi.

I have one of the worst voices in the history of recorded time.

I had to write a comedy set and film a show at the same time. And it's the second time I've been up on stage as a stand-up comedian with untested material. I was saying it out loud for the first time that night. It didn't go how I expected, but in the best possible way.

I talk about Breaking Bad being the most brilliant show ever, and even minor characters have subtle nuances and are fully drawn.

The thing to do is just make sure that as part of a disability community, we're not isolating ourselves by drawing differences for the sake of progress.

We'd done a couple of road trips with my big chair, and it was such a hassle if we didn't have the van with the foldout ramp. I figured: There's got to be some option that I can use on the go. Now I can go anywhere with my friends, which is a big, life-changing thing. I can sit on it for as long as I need to.

Nothing like quoting Silence of the Lambs for people to question what kind of disability you have.

Most of my work is comedy it's meant to inspire empathy in people and help them find joy.

You may not have a physical impairment, but you have things, whether it's finances, self-esteem, it doesn't matter. It's cut from the same cloth.

I just love all the music. My grandma was a church organist for 40 years, and she got me into jazz music and great songwriters, Harold Arlen, George Gershwin, all those folks. I can't do it, but I have a profound respect for it.
