- There's always an uphill battle with my situation. People sometimes wonder if my stuttering is an act, if I'm pulling their leg. It can be frustrating... I'm an easy target. At first, the heckling was born from people in the audience feeling uncomfortable. Now it's mainly people who are either super intoxicated or super unaware. (2019 interview)
- People resonate with adversity. I've been able to impact people with disabilities who were about to give up. That gives what I do such a greater purpose. (2019 interview)
- People think I grew my audience on America's Got Talent (2006). I actually grew my audience on YouTube. When I got done with AGT, I had 80,000 subscribers, which is a lot. Now I have over 2 million. -- TED Talk, 2022
- I believe you can turn anything into a positive. That's why I'm here. -- Episode #10.1 (2015)
- [on stuttering] I used it initially to make self-deprecating jokes to really heal - and then because I've gotten so much progress over my speech, and then I had success with my speech, people now criticize the legitimacy of it, and if it's an act, or if I put it on!... I did America's Got Talent (2006) almost eight years ago, and my speech was way different then than it is now. And consistently - no one sees my medical bills. -- Interview with Ryan Sickler (2023)
