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'm currently doing a Soul Pancake show called Top of the Monday, which is basically a good morning news show. It's just me being silly, telling people about good news that's going on in the world, putting them in the mood to start their week.

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?

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.

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

I would love to get an international version of Riding Shotgun going, because that's what I've been angling at ever since I wanted to do a travel show in the first place.

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.

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.

Technically I can get out of my wheelchair and crawl around and do things, but when I've traveled and they've lost my wheelchair in transit, I feel like I need to be bound to it. My functionality and autonomy are often bound to this.

I used to be an insult comic, and I didn't end up liking the way that I felt about myself.

The waiter just flashed me something that said, Chew bubblegum. Every morning, when I was about to go to the Oprah competition, my friend used to say this line in a video game to me: It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. There's a strict policy that you can't encourage anyone on a reality show, that would give them an edge.

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.
