“I'm a real street-ball player. I like to do silly tricks and show off.”

“I love walking the line. I look very wobbly. Like I'm gonna fall over the line. But I never do.”

“The whole opportunity of being on 'Last Comic' gave me the chance to display me being funny on and off stage.”

“I was on the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier. That's an experience I'll never forget.”

“People have preconceived ideas about disability. When people tell me that I can't do something, it just makes me go 'Oh, yeah? Watch this.' I kind of like a little adversity.”

“I've always been a horrible public speaker. If I had to give a presentation, I would cry.”

“I like to be good at what I do. It's frustrating when I'm not. But if I get an idea in my head, you better not try to stop me, because that is just going to push me harder.”

“I have a half-hour special on Comedy Central, but so many people have half-hour specials now, and it's not so 'special.'”

“If you don't experience something first hand, you'll never know.”

“I feel like I'm at the point in my career where I'm ready to be the next big funny movie star.”

“I have to deal with people in weird ways. I was walking down the street and this woman walks up to me and she goes, 'You know, I think it's so inspirational that you're out.' I was like, 'I'm on my way to the liquor store. Are you inspired?'”

“The more exposure any big comic with a disability gets will open more doors for the rest of us and help change people's attitudes.”

“My biggest influence is Chris Rock. His physicality is like a caged tiger - pacing the stage - how he walks back and forth.”

“Like, if you see my show, my jokes are much longer and they're just like, I'm going with the vibe.”

“As I get older and mature and see the world, I think it's really rewarding to have people take inspiration - I hate the 'I' word - but I think a lot of disabled people really thank me for putting disability out there in a positive way.”

“The more I move on stage, the more people are just drawn to the movement. The way that I walk and my gait - it's very eye catching. And the way my hand hooks and moves on its own - it's almost hypnotic.”

“I'd love to see a sitcom about someone with cerebral palsy.”

“The way my body works, people are always going to stare at me. It's just human nature.”

“I pull my material from daily life.”

“Sometimes I feel like I'm lucky that I can just laugh about it because I know a lot of disabled people who don't because it hurts them. And you leave my show with a different perspective on disability, whether you realize it or not - maybe not better, but a different one!”
