What Parent Has It Easy? I Just

I've Been Around Since I Was 19, I Won The Oscar When I Was 21, I've Had A Couple Of Tv Series. I've Continued To Work Despite The Predictions Of Some Naysayers.

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.

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 Don't Already Know?

The Handicap Of Deafness Is Not In The Ear; It Is In The Mind.

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