There's always going to be some hate on the Internet.
Zach Anner
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 realized that I was a really, really terrible actor. I was like, I'd better be myself.
Zach Anner
I always say, once I get in a room, I can sell myself just fine. I know that not everyone who has a disability has the social skills or cognitive skills that I do, and it may be harder for them to navigate through.
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.
Zach Anner
You really just have to have a good attitude, challenge yourself, and you can accomplish great things.
Zach Anner
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.
Zach Anner
The most important thing is to have the conversation, and let people who do make mistakes feel comfortable enough to continue the conversation.
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.

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.

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.
Zach Anner
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.
Zach Anner
If everything was perfect, it would always be a person-first conversation, but whenever I have the opportunity, I lead with my personality. If they're looking and seeing the disability first or the chair first, I know that I have the ability to change that.
Zach Anner
No Atlantis is too underwater or fictional.
Zach Anner
I used to be an insult comic, and I didn't end up liking the way that I felt about myself.
Zach Anner
I thought this should be a travel show, because a lot of people with physical disabilities get discouraged.
Zach Anner
The biggest disabilities are when you sabotage yourself mentally, those personal demons that get on your shoulder and you can't shake 'em.
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
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.

What's great about this hotel [Sheraton Universal Hotel in Universal City, CA] is that I stayed here for a month when I was competing on the Oprah reality show. So it's like coming home.
