He was very much an asshole before he was in the wheelchair.

If I can be an inspiration for someone, that's fine, but just don't look down on me. Don't say, 'Oh, you're in a wheelchair.'

We're normal people. Don't be scared because we are in a chair. People don't understand that. They think, 'Oh, a wheelchair, something's wrong with their heads, something's just not right.' Well yeah, we may be a little twisted, but no more than anyone else.

The whole thing is you don't want to be pigeon-holed as 'Oh, he's a guy in a wheel chair. He's very fragile. You better watch out.'

If Joe was on the side of the road on fire, I wouldn't piss on him to put it out.

It affords you opportunities to develop the relationships that you may have broken from when you were angry with the world.
