Over the years, I learned that in my career, unlike in life, sometimes my wheelchair is its own automatic door opener.

In other words, make the narrative of your failure a comedy.
A good way to take a baby step into the world of animal rights is to make a list of small things you can do to help your issue and work your way up to the big things. Make a promise to do one thing on your list each month.
I love doing comedy, and that's the thing I will always go back to, really, but I'd love to have the freedom to do sort of 'meaty' roles but also have the freedom to do the sort of films I want to make, like what Woody Allen does.
