At Some Point In Every Person's Life,

Half Of Hollywood Has More Prosthetic In Their Body Than I Do, But We Don't Think Of Them As Disabled. You Amputate Part Of A Nose, That's 'enhancement'. You Put A Prosthetic In A Breast Cavity, That's 'augmentation'. But You Amputate Part Of A Limb And Put A Prosthetic There, It's 'disability'?

Everyone Is Really Afraid Of Getting Out There And Not Being Good. That's The Challenge: To Be Afraid And Know People Are Staring At You And Know You Might Not Do All That Well, But You Do It Anyway. What Singles Out The Successful Athlete From The Ones Who Never Make It Past A Plateau, It That Successful Athletes Risk Failure, Even Though They Are Terrified.

The Legs That I Have Made Are Far More Perfect Than The Ones Nature Would Have Given Me - My Mother's Side Of The Family Have Awful Legs.

I've Had Journalists Asking Me, 'what Do We Call You - Is It Handicapped, Are You Disabled, Physically Challenged?' I Said, 'well Hopefully You Could Just Call Me Aimee. But If You Have To Describe It, I'm A Bilateral Below-the-knee Amputee.'

A Lot Of My Life Is About Will - Having The Will To Prove What My Body Can Do.
