Some people are walking around with full use of their bodies and they're more paralyzed than I am.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I may be paralyzed from the waist down, but unlike Gray Davis, I'm not paralyzed from the neck up.
I've seen many politicians paralyzed in the legs as myself, but I've seen more of them who were paralyzed in the head.
I can't stand the kind of paralysis that some people fall into because they're not happy with the choices they've made.
Now, there are a very large number of bodily movements, having their source in our nervous system, that do not possess the character of conscious actions.
The night I flew out from Rwanda, I landed in Nairobi, and I was on my way back home, and my left side started to paralyze and remained paralyzed with pain, and the stress and so on began to appear physically.
For those looking at me, meeting me for the first time, it is the body they see. I am labelled as disabled.
When people are nervous, some people move around. Some people scratch their leg.
I am not the paraplegic seated permanently in his chair or the able-bodied person on her feet. Identity for a hemiplegic is a shifty thing.
I played a paraplegic on a show called 'Neighbours.' Just turned up on set, sat in a wheelchair. The producer came up to me one day and said, 'We have to cut around that entire scene because your leg was moving.'
I'm moving around; doing stuff. I can walk. I can even run.
