Our limitations and success will be based, most often, on your own expectations for ourselves. What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon.
I believe in the power of media. I really do. It’s my soapbox.

When opportunities and possibilities feel foreclosed upon, when you’re living with limitations, as I was, you have to find creative workarounds to exist, to hold on to some sense of self, to explore new parts of yourself that are emerging.

Everyday I’m just going to continue defying limitations.
Liberty has never come from Government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it.

Age does take it out of you, and I haven’t the energy I had before. Sometimes I have breakfast and sit in this chair, and I wake up and it is lunchtime. In the past, the idea of sleeping through a morning would have horrified me, but you have to accept the limitations that old age imposes on you.

Over-commercialization and its resulting restrictions and limitations can be very damaging and distorting to the inherent nature of the individual. I did not deliberately abandon my fans, nor did I deliberately abandon any responsibilities.
People categorise people as being disabled, and it’s basically whatever you put your mind to, you can do, and everybody that has limitations, they can still do anything they want as long as they set their mind to it.
I acted professionally for about eight years, and I was writing all that time but never showed anybody any of it. There just came a point after those eight years when I thought, ‘There’s a lot I can do with acting – there are a lot of things I can express and do creatively, but there are also limitations.’
