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.

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 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?

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

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'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.

There's always going to be some hate on the Internet.

I realized that I was a really, really terrible actor. I was like, I'd better be myself.

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.

You want the world to be set up for you, but sometimes it just isn't.

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 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 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.

I just love all the music. My grandma was a church organist for 40 years, and she got me into jazz music and great songwriters, Harold Arlen, George Gershwin, all those folks. I can't do it, but I have a profound respect for it.
