You know that the world is a better place when people can come up to a severely disabled person and say: 'Well done. You are an inspiration.'

Sometimes I wonder if I'm as famous for my wheelchair and disabilities as I am for my discoveries.

I don't know whether I inspire anything in anyone.

My inspiration is everything that the human being gets up to.

I typically start out almost every speech I give making some kind of joke about me being in a wheelchair.

Inspiration comes from within yourself. One has to be positive. When you're positive, good things happen.

You can really do amazing things in a wheelchair. It's very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing, but you can even go up and down stairs in a wheelchair.

I think I've inspired a lot of people, and I'm one, if I get a letter and someone's in serious shape, I'll call them. I relate to these people.

I don't work with inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs. I just get to work.
