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.

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.

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.

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.

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? .

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.

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.

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

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.
