More quotes by Zach Anner
CP is a struggle, but it's also been quite the tool for me to find success and deliver a message. It's something about me that's unique, so it'll open a few doors as well as keep a few closed. If you have the other tools that you develop as an individual, talents, things like that, you can harness this to do positive things in the world.

Nothing like quoting Silence of the Lambs for people to question what kind of disability you have.
Zach Anner
There's a tendency to treat anyone with a physical disability as inspiring. I call it a pedestal of prejudice, in that you're lifting people up to dismiss them. My whole thing is bringing us down to everyone else's level and saying we're all the same. The struggle is the same.

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.
Zach Anner
I thought this should be a travel show, because a lot of people with physical disabilities get discouraged.

You want the world to be set up for you, but sometimes it just isn't.

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

There's always going to be some hate on the Internet.

Call yourself and define your relationship to your chair the way you want to, or your disability the way you want to.

I talk about Breaking Bad being the most brilliant show ever, and even minor characters have subtle nuances and are fully drawn.
Zach Anner
I think that's where it comes into play, when you are just looking at a document or whatever and you see the word disability. Does that automatically trigger something in you that denies someone their personhood?
Zach Anner
I make funny shows and put a positive message out there, showing people who have body image issues that... you don't have to look a certain way.
Zach Anner
I haven't found anything that I've wanted to say that I couldn't do through either the Internet or the reality shows that I've done.
Zach Anner
Writing was not my medium. I preferred to do video.

Having a son with a disability helps makes Walter White a more sympathetic character. There's no story line that shows Walt Jr. going through the things that you go through as a teenager with a disability. It's always his relationship to other characters. That was my issue with it.
Zach Anner
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.

When I got my Oprah money, the first thing I bought was a really nice electronic bidet toilet seat. It just feels like this is what we should be doing. For everybody who uses it, it's like there's no goin' back.

We did a book signing and people came up to me. There was an expectant mother who was like, I think we might name our child Zach because of your work.

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.

The biggest disabilities are when you sabotage yourself mentally, those personal demons that get on your shoulder and you can't shake 'em.
