What I don't like about the way the media portrays religion is that they seem to weaponize it and use it as a tool to divide people.

More quotes by Zach Anner
I have one of the worst voices in the history of recorded time.

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?

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.

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.

Everyone who was here [Sheraton Universal Hotel] when I won still works here, so the two biggest moments in my career are intersecting. It's so cool that I can say hi to everybody.
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.

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

My friends from the University of Texas. I've had the same friends for over a decade. My brother films a lot he usually edits my Workout Wednesdays. All the people who work on my projects are amazing.

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 used to be an insult comic, and I didn't end up liking the way that I felt about myself.
Zach Anner
I realized that I was a really, really terrible actor. I was like, I'd better be myself.
Zach Anner
You can never walk a mile in someone elses shoes, but you can walk a mile in your own and be proud of it.
Zach Anner
I feel that religion can be used as a tool to guide your life and help you connect with other people.
Zach Anner
You really just have to have a good attitude, challenge yourself, and you can accomplish great things.
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
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.
Zach Anner
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.

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.
Zach Anner
I didn't feel like I was putting anything good into the world, even though it was funny. I wanted to do something more positive that would have an impact. So even when I'm doing naked push-ups or whatever, it's astounding to see how people respond to it.
