The only thing I cant do is hear. I can drive, I have a life with four kids, I work on TV, I do movies, so the deafness question, is it that they want to know because, what? Not sure. – Marlee Matlin
I hope that through my example, such as my role on The West Wing, I can help change attitudes on deafness and prove we can really do everything… except hear. – Marlee Matlin
It was my father who instilled the never say no attitude I carry around with me today, and who instilled in me a sense of wonder, always taking us on adventures in the car, never telling us the destination. – Marlee Matlin
How many deaf people do you know in real life? Unless they live in a cave, or are 14, which seems to be true for most people in this business, what could I possibly tell them that they dont already know? – Marlee Matlin
