I'm Gonna Be Unemployed When People Read

I Hope I Inspire People Who Hear. Hearing People Have The Ability To Remove Barriers That Prevent Deaf People From Achieving Their Dreams.

I Have A Great Husband, Great Parents And In-laws, And I Have Help With A Nanny. It's Not Easy, But There Are Others Who Do It Every Day And Don't Have A High-profile Job As I Do.

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.

When I Learned To Sign And Speak At The Same Time, The Whole World Opened Up To Me. That's The Beauty Of Encouraging Kids Who Are Deaf To Use Whatever It Takes To Communicate.

There Are Many Deaf People Who Couldn't Imagine Living In A Marriage Without Someone Who Doesn't Speak Their Language. For Me, I Believe That Hearing Or Deaf Is Fine As Long As Both Parties Are Willing To Communicate In Each Other's Language. But If There's No Communication, Then The Marriage, I Believe, Will Be Difficult If Not Doomed.
