Zitat des Tages von Zach Anner:
I've always wanted to do a travel show for people who never thought they could.
Religion is such an important part of so many people's lives, and I don't understand it at all.
Spontaneity is what travel is all about.
Over the years, I've learned that a sense of humor is the only skill that allows you to turn sucking at life into a career.
Even the most embarrassing mishap can be spun into comedic gold.
Religion is something we don't talk about, and it is used by uneducated people as a weapon to divide us as opposed to connect with each other.
A lot of the time, when people meet someone in a wheelchair, or with some disability, it's the first thing they notice, but they don't know how to react.
I was basically the person at Disney World that was in charge of clearing the park when it was closed... I was the guy... telling them to 'get the hell out and have a magical day.'
I want to find a way to speak to the broadest audience possible.
This country is pretty amazing.
When I got my Oprah money, the first thing I bought was a really nice electronic bidet toilet seat.
There's no denying it: I was a crappy baby who failed his way into this world, and I've been making the best of it ever since.
I've accepted that we've all got crap to deal with and problems that we're fighting not to be defined by. At the end of the day, we all want the same stuff: fulfillment, love, support, comfort, and a hot-air balloon with laser guns attached to it. The most important thing is that we appreciate the crazy ride we're on.
The only two characters I can play convincingly are myself and a dumber and sweeter version of myself.
I'd wanted to be famous for as long as I could remember.
When I was five years old, I auditioned for the role of 'Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol.'
Humor disarms people. It opens them up to starting a dialogue about things they wouldn't normally talk about. I don't understand how people who don't have a sense of humor get through life.
I think you can feel good about yourself at any size and any shape. Nobody should be made to feel inferior because they have a certain body type.
Over the years, I learned that in my career, unlike in life, sometimes my wheelchair is its own automatic door opener. I was able to win the OWN competition by applying one simple principle: be funny, and admit you suck before anyone else can call you out on it. In other words, make the narrative of your failure a comedy.
People tend to treat people with disabilities sort of like they're aliens from another planet. It doesn't come from a bad place; it comes from a place of, 'I have no idea what this disability entails, and I don't want to offend anyone or make them feel awful.'
Talking to people is important to me as someone who has cerebral palsy. I know what it's like to have people not talking to me because they are scared they would ask the wrong question, but I would rather have an honest dialogue as long as it comes from an honest place.
The Internet is crazy, and I love it!
When I get real excited, my muscles go into spasm, so they just shake.
