- Make tracks so someone else can follow them.
- A film and everything else that I make is a window into an unseen world that is my mind. A virtual reality that only I control. It is born, created and preserved so that people understand who I am, who I was, what I wanted to say so that I not only exist in this reality as a mortal, but as a spirit that can never be erased.
- Diversity is a blessing, not a plague.
- Death is why I live to create meaning.
- A disability is the ability to push through the barriers that lie in your way to prove to the world that challenges, whatever they may be, do not make us incapable of doing anything.
