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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

I've come to be pretty selective about the type of advocacy that I do, because I kind of feel like it's stronger to just do my work and let it speak for itself.

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

There was an agent who wanted to book me for Glee. He lied and said I could sing. He was like, If you need a guy in a wheelchair who has a great voice, I've got your guy! I was like, What are you talking about? .

I have a confession: I have no faith.

Even if you have an ADA room, every disability is so different that people need different things. A lot of times they'll put something on the toilet to make it higher, and for someone transferring from their chair that's fine, but I transfer from the floor so it causes more problems.
Zach Anner
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.
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 feel that religion can be used as a tool to guide your life and help you connect with other people.

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.

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.

No Atlantis is too underwater or fictional.

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

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