Silence Is The Last Thing The World

If I Were Offered A Cochlear Implant Today, I Would Prefer Not To Have One. But That's Not A Statement About Hearing Aids Or Cochlear Implants. It's About Who You Are.

Deaf People Can Do Anything, Except Hear.

We Had A Dog, Apples. He Was 13 Years Old, Toothless, Blind And Had The Worst Breath This Side Of Jabba The Hut. But He Was The Sweetest Dog, And I Cried And Cried When He Died.

At Some Point We Have To Stop And Say, There's Marlee, Not, There's The Deaf Actress.

I'm A Proud Person Who Happens To Be Deaf. I Don't Want To Change 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.
