Marlee Matlin: "I'm a proud person who happens to be deaf. I don't want tochange it. I don't want to wake up and suddenly say, 'Oh my God, I can hear.' That's not my dream. It's not my dream. I've been raised deaf. I'm used to the way I am. I don't want to change it. Why would I ever want to change? Because I'm used to this, I'm happy."

C. J. Jones: "What's wrong with being deaf? I'm deaf. I'm fine. I function fine. I drive. I have a family. I've made a baby. I make people laugh. I travel. What the hell is going on? Like I have to hear that has nothing to do with it. It's all about knowledge; it's about the heart. It's about abilities, about doing something you want and getting what you want out of life. Knowledge is the most powerful vehicle to success, not hearing, not speaking."

Summer Crider: "In terms of a disability, I don't view myself as having a disability I function like any other hearing person can. My deafness does notdeprive me of anything. I can do anything I want. Except maybe sing."

David James: "Being deaf is, well, it's part of me. It's something I have todeal with, but it doesn't keep me from being happy. It doesn't make me either happy or say. It's like being a man instead of a woman, or being tallinstead of short."
