My mother had been blind as a child. And so, blindness was something that has long fascinated me, but also it's something I find really, really scary.

Sometimes, I feel I am really blessed to be blind because I probably would not last a minute if I were able to see things.

In my mind I'm a blind man doin' time.

I'm blind without my glasses.

I think we all suffer from acute blindness at times. Life is a constant journey of trying to open your eyes. I'm just beginning my journey, and my eyes aren't fully open yet.

When I was a child, I dreaded blindness. We used to ask: 'Would we rather be blind or deaf?' I said I'd rather be blind, even though I was scared of it. I couldn't bear not being able to hear music or talk to people.

When I lost the sight of my eye and faced the prospect of going blind, my sight was saved by the NHS.

The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.

I was walking around legally blind. Now I have 20-20 vision. I can't believe I spent so many years blurry, but I think that coincides with how I was feeling. Now I notice if people are watching me, but I also smile right back if someone waves, which helps.

The brain, which is plastic when young, must be exposed to certain sights early in life, or it will remain blind to those sights forever.
