I Live My Life Like Everyone Else;

Living Modestly In A Suburban Neighborhood While Trying To Support Four Children Through Private School Is Not Extravagant Or Living Large.

The Only Thing I Can't Do Is Hear. I Can Drive, I Have A Life With Four Kids, I Work On Tv, I Do Movies, So The Deafness Question, Is It That They Want To Know Because, What? Not Sure.

I Learned To Speak First, And Then To Sign. I Have Never Really Known What It Was Like To Hear, So I Cant Compare Hearing Aids To Normal Hearing.

During A Visit To California, When A Friend Of My Grandmother's Told My Parents That I Must Be Deaf Because I Was Not Responding To Sounds, My Father Was Absolutely Convinced That I Was Simply Being Stubborn.

When It Comes Down To It, It's About Who You Know, And Who's A Fan. It's About Whether You're The Right Age, Whether You're Hot Or Not, Whether The Studio Is Into You Or Not.
