Nyle DiMarco

“I have my own foundation, Nyle DiMarco Foundation, and it focuses on bettering deaf youths' lives.”

“My sexiest feature is my body.”

“There is research proving that deaf people have increased visual abilities.”

“I never danced growing up.”

“I think the biggest misconception is that people think deaf people are not able to do things.”

“We have over 25 deaf individuals in my family.”

“I work out a lot.”

“When I signed up for 'Dancing with the Stars,' I was nervous. If I threw everything off, there are 10-15 million people watching, and that would be a negative viewpoint of deaf people, and I didn't want that.”

“My message to my deaf community is that we can redefine anything however we want. Anything is re-definable only if we believe and work hard for it.”

“I grew up with deaf teachers, and I thought all deaf children should have exposure to deaf educators.”

“I'm really excited to educate the world about what deaf people can do.”

“My mom did a great job because ever since I was born, she would put me into any type of sporting activity with hearing teams.”

“I'm ready to take the world by storm and have them look at me and say, 'Deaf people can dance.'”
