- I want to be an actor to show deaf people can do it. You're not too young to dream big!
- I really hope that, while we are sharing one world, we want different people. Maybe we can change our history.
- My name is Millicent Simmonds, I'm 15 years old, and I'm an actress. I'm also deaf.
- Growing up, I never thought about becoming an actress because I never saw deaf people in TV or movies. I didn't think it was possible.
- In choosing roles, I really have to feel an instant connection to the character that I'm playing. If I can't relate to the character, I know I won't be able to convey that role honestly. I'd like to see more roles for people with disabilities that you don't feel sorry for. We don't feel sorry for ourselves, so we don't need other people to feel that way about us.
