"Its hard for anybody. There are people who are comfortable -- I dont know what the percentage of the people who are comfortable or are not comfortable [is], with people being differently able. I wrote in my book"

"I just have to learn what their special needs are. And what Im going to do with them, I do with everybody. I want to find out what theyre capable of, not what theyre not capable of -- I mean, we know what theyre not capable of, but its so different for everyone, even if you dont have a physical disability."

"It might have to do with how my mother was, and I observed her dealing with people who were different and as matter of fact and equal to anybody else, as deserving of respect and kindness. People have asked me over the years, "How do you work with people who are differently abled?" I always say,"

"If youre with somebody you feel is judging you when you make a suggestion, give it a try if youre really attracted to the person, but I wouldnt stick around for that."

"Everybody underestimates. And then there are people that think, am I a freak? Am I kinky? Is this strange? And I always say, "No." Find the person who loves to do what you love to do, and then youll have the best relationship."
