To be blind is not miserable; not to be able to bear blindness, that is miserable.

I believe, in general, that even people that are self-pitying, you can feel for them.

I know a lot of single people who are not miserable as society tells them they're supposed to be.

But I'm not like sad, depressed miserable person. I guess sometimes I give off that impression.

I tell people to monitor their self-pity. Self-pity is very unattractive.

My whole life, meeting people is like a blind date, because I feel like they've already seen the video on me.

I have never met a person in whom I did not see myself reflected.

The fact that I am blind is not what defines my life. It should be of no more interest than my blood type. People wonder if there is a relationship between my lack of sight and the way I sing. But there's no connection.
