I reached the stage where I was afraid to wiggle my leg, but then I thought ‘why shouldn’t I?’ It’s what I do and now I know how to turn an audience on again.

Once I got the Jaipor leg, it took me 3 years of physiotherapy to recover and feel normal again.

Students come away with a clear message about how admissions works: If you have money, connections or ‘insider’ knowledge, you have a leg up. It’s hardly surprising that many students of modest or lower means decide it’s not even worth playing.

I’m not an advocate for disability issues. Human issues are what interest me. You can’t possibly speak for a diverse group of people. I don’t know what it’s like to be an arm amputee, or have even one flesh-and-bone leg, or to have cerebral palsy.

What is normal? Normal was yesterday. If you lose a leg, one day you’re hopping around on one leg, so you know the difference.

One day, I just thought, if you see a bird with a broken leg, you really have the urge to do something about it and help the bird. Then, at the same time, you go to a restaurant and eat a chicken or something. It doesn’t make any sense.

The off spinner’s job is to contain; for me, leg spinners need to have a bigger heart than anyone else because it is easy to blame them.

Some people wear their heart up on their sleeve. I wear mine underneath my right pant leg, strapped to my boot.

I got injured at the Olympic Trials in 2000. I could not jump. I could not walk on my leg properly. I couldn’t bend my knee. I couldn’t straighten it.

I had three bypasses in one go, using arteries harvested from my leg and the right side of my chest.

It’s an offensive foul if you go into the defender’s body, but if I fade and a guy runs into my leg, it’s a foul.

I got the dragon on my leg when I was still living with my dad. He’s not a fan of tattoos, so I had to get it behind his back; he kind of freaked out when he saw it.

When you walk, you need the leg to swing back and forth underneath you. It needs to flex at a certain point, then extend as you follow through your gait. Now, that function doesn’t really help at all while I’m standing on my dirt bike or snowmobile.

Ever since I lost my limb and started walking with a prosthetic leg, I had been working only on my goal of conquering the 29,000 feet summit. Now that it has been achieved, my next goal is the Seven Summits.

Within a match, there’s so many things that happen that could ultimately determine the outcome: You reach too much with your right hand, you step forward with your left leg, you get your head out of position.

My leg was pulled on social media with memes and jokes due to my ‘sanskaari’ image.

Whenever a gentle pressure is used to make a slight change in leg posture, the neck muscles react immediately. Conversely, when the therapist helps one to ‘release’ the neck muscles, it is amazing to see quite pronounced movements for instance of the toes, even when one is lying on a couch.

We’ve always said a filibuster is not appropriate for judicial nominees. A filibuster is a legislative tool designed to extract compromises. A judicial nominee is a person. You can’t take the arm or leg of a nominee.

The attack did not succeed as well as I had hoped, no small impediment having been the loss of my right leg.

I’ll do some running with the dogs, ride a bike; if I go to gym it’s usually for cardio. I don’t do weights as much; every once in while, I throw in some pushups and do leg exercises to strengthen my legs.

I wasn’t able to explode, jump, run – not even walk without pain being in the back of my leg. Every time I bent my leg, even in a walking motion, I was wondering what was wrong with me. But I stuck with it.

If you move something 10 pounds through space and then stop suddenly, there’s a little overshoot. When you transfer weight from one leg to another, there’s a certain way that it happens.

I used to be teased for the way I wore my hair at school. I used to do things like wear a different-colored sock on each leg.

Wrestling is second nature: I’ve been doing it for so long, so if it looks like someone’s leg is available, it made sense for my first three fights that I would shoot for legs.

I kicked the door open, and I’m gonna hold my leg in there. I’m keeping the door open for all these amazing female singer-songwriters that are coming out.

I do a lot of working out, but I haven’t been kicking for a while, so one time I was rehearsing a spinning roundhouse and darned near threw out my leg.

Making a bougie, expensive beauty brand wasn’t helping the mission or very fun for me. We can all be united by that $12 coconut balm. You don’t need to charge an arm and a leg.

It’s not easy bowling off-spin in one-day internationals with only five men allowed on the leg side.

Right through school, I was a handy cricketer, a batsman and a left-arm spinner who bowled leg breaks.

I’ve got a scar on my shin from when I got shot in New York when I was 17. I was outside a McDonald’s and somebody shot a gun from a car, and the bullet grazed my leg.

As a little boy of 3 or 4, I became lame. Something was wrong with my right leg. There are pictures of me being pulled around in a little wagon. The doctors didn’t know what to do. So my nanny took me to the miraculous Madonna at Sacro Monte in Varese, the priest blessed me, and I walked.

My brother once lit his leg on fire. And after, when the fire was finally out, his leg was covered in third-degree burns. And we made the decision – or my parents did – not to take him to the hospital but to treat that at home with a salve my mother made of comfrey and lobelia.

My knee is as strong as it was before, if not stronger, and it’s a matter of getting my leg strong. I lost six years of strength in about six month’s time, so it’s going to take another year or two to get that leg back up to full strength, but I’m good to go so far.

The next generation is going to have to understand that Social Security is just one leg of a stool. We need to actually bring back that savings incentive, and the only way you’re going to be able to do that is if you have a job.

It was my Old Trafford debut and it lasted about 60 minutes and my left leg and left ankle sort of gave way on me from a tackle from behind.

Even on one leg, I thought I could knock Tony Bellew out. I was gutted when Shane McGuigan threw the towel in.

When I was shooting for the film ‘No Problem,’ there was a fire on the sets and I had some burn injuries in my leg.

My manager said it would more effective against left-handed hitters. It seemed to me that was impossible to do without the high leg kick, which I started that day.

I pull out on the highway, and a truck hit my driver’s door going 70 miles an hour. Took off my right leg from the knee down; broke 20 something bones.

I’ll do anything. That has proven problematic – you may remember my broken leg in a dirt bike accident – but that is also the ingredient that has allowed me to elevate myself in pro wrestling.

Airports and ‘leg room’ on planes are a form of medieval torture.

I was with Luke Shaw at Southampton. He’s a very strong boy. He’s had a horrific leg injury. You don’t come back from that without being mentally and physically strong.

Most of the people at my headline shows are in their 20s, but it varies a ton: like, I’ve had a six-year-old hug my leg after the show and a 60-year-old shake my hand. It’s cool to see people connecting with the music across different generations.

There were a lot of things that my parents could not do or afford. And when they put all that dreams into me and when I could not fulfill them, I felt very disappointed. And that was the only reason I wanted to dance with an artificial leg.

He’s dangerous, he’s beautiful, and he loves the heat, like me – that’s why I had a scorpion tattooed on my leg in 1999 after my fifth jersey.

Well, I’ve always prefered playing spin off the back foot because, to my mind, it takes short leg and silly point out of the equation.

I worry about another leg down in the economies causing social disruption because deleveragings can be very painful – it depends on how they’re managed.

My left leg had to be amputated from below the knee immediately to prevent gangrene from setting in. I was losing blood alarmingly. Here I was informed that the hospital was out of anaesthesia. With no choice, I instructed them to go ahead with the amputation. The limb was sawed off while I was fully conscious.

Of course ankle length socks are cheaper, but they don’t cover the lower leg as hosiery should.

Well, I am a giant pansy and freak out if seaweed touches my leg in the ocean.

Vishal is a gentleman. I really enjoyed working with him on the sets. But he keeps pulling everybody’s leg!

I have had with conversations with Mark Benton and Ben Cohen – three fellas sitting with a pint discussing the cha-cha-cha and the correct leg position for a foxtrot.

If you engage people honestly, and you’re willing to do the leg work, people will respond to that.

It is good to express a thing twice right at the outset and so to give it a right foot and also a left one. Truth can surely stand on one leg, but with two it will be able to walk and get around.

I have always had a dream to take part in an Olympic Games, and losing my leg didn’t change anything.

Black people don’t talk about diabetes that much. I never knew anything. I thought everyone had an uncle with a leg cut off!

I ended up winning a silver medal at the Summer X Games Adaptive Supercross seven months after my injury – on a leg that I built.

Life is not orderly. No matter how we try to make life so, right in the middle of it we die, lose a leg, fall in love, drop a jar of applesauce.

At primary school, it was always me and this other girl, Lauren, who would fight over who was the fastest every year. I was quicker, but for some reason, she always got the glory leg in the relay team. That used to annoy me.

I actually started snowboarding when I was 7 years old, so I felt very comfortable auditioning for a snowboarding movie, and I thought that would give me some leg up.

In my experience, if you have to keep the lavatory door shut by extending your left leg, it’s modern architecture.

Just because you want to wear organic cotton doesn’t mean you have to spend an arm and a leg.

If I am trying to set up someone then I might go up to the keeper and say that I might bowl down the leg side. That’s where you feel that if the ‘keeper has a longer stint, he will read you better.

I love leg locks and heel hooks and kneebars. They’re complex and hard to avoid.

My stylist coached me on how to stand for photos. Always put one leg forward and a hand on your hip.

In basketball, the legs are the most important part of your body. A lot of people think it’s the upper body because you shoot with your arms, but your legs are always carrying you, so if you don’t lift leg weights, your muscles will be easily fatigued.

The vast diversity of looks from the 80s are why we mustn’t ignore it completely, there is plenty to build a modern and relevant wardrobe around, and I am enthusiastically kicking my leg warmers in the air in its defence.

Banging my feet against the snow to get a grip on the ice, I damaged my artificial leg stump. On several occasions my artificial leg turned 180 degrees and I had to put it back to its normal position which slowed me down. I had to crawl along the slope to move forward, annoying the climbers behind me.

When I ran the anchor leg to a gold medal with my Canadian teammates Glenroy Gilbert, Bruny Surin, and Robert Esmie in the 4×100-metre relay at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, it was my responsibility to motivate the guys as unofficial captain and leader.

I’ve kind of banned myself from motorcycles. I’ve had broken ribs, broken shoulder, wrists, leg, broken collarbone – and it was all from motocross or rugby. All of my injuries have come from outside of sailing.

Keeping wicket is the worst place to be when out of form. You can’t hide at fine leg where you might touch the ball once every 10 overs. Behind the wicket you are involved every ball.

There is some level on which this life must occasionally become repugnant and unappetizing to you and you must step back from it. And then you have a new relationship with it, and then you step back into it from a different angle – with a new appetite – and then you find the next leg of your journey.

When I go on holiday, I wear wedges. They accentuate your leg, honey, and you have to look good on the beach.

I did a very stupid diet where you have three food groups, and you never eat them together. It’s so bloody tedious; I’m losing the will to live just describing it. I managed to stay very thin because you spent your life wandering around starving hungry looking for a chickpea to go with a chicken leg.

I used to sleep on the floor next to the bed, because I believed that I didn’t even deserve a bed to sleep in. And then, one morning, a cockroach crawled onto my leg. I looked at it, and suddenly I awoke from a kind of hypnotic trance in which I had been all my life.

When I broke my leg on the dirt bike, fear got the best of me that day. I hesitated. I didn’t hit it as fast as I could have, and I came up short. It was the first time in my life I couldn’t get back up.

My movements, ma’am, are all leg movements. I don’t do nothing with my body.

I refused to be filmed getting off a bus twice. The director said, ‘I’m an award-winning director. Please do it’, and I said, ‘I never thought I’d say this, but I’m an award-winning actress with a bad leg, and if your film depends on seeing me get in and out of a bus, we’re in trouble.’

Having the hip surgery and then still having the pain with it, I was kind of scared jumping off one leg, jumping off two feet. I was scared to be explosive.

When you have a little 10-month-old who is climbing up your leg because you are their mountain – there’s no nobler reason to get out of bed every day. There’s no better reason to live, to make sure you provide as much guidance and as much room for that child to thrive.

The moment when I broke my leg, when I realized my leg was broken, I thought my career was over.

Standing in front of our hallway mirror, I am practising a few poses – one leg artfully bent, the opposite shoulder up – when the man of the house strides in and decides to share: a) I look like I have dislocated my shoulder and b) Has anyone ever told me I strongly resemble Tom Cruise?

As early as five I’d stick my leg out in a rock stance for family pictures. I was obsessed with Mick Jagger. I’d stand in front of the mirror and copy him, and I’d put a sock down my pants so I had a nice bulge. I didn’t know what that was. I just thought it was part of the uniform.

On the road, almost every day I’ll do 100 squats, or sometimes I might do 50 squats and a bunch of leg lifts. I’ll split them up right before I get in the shower and before I go to bed, or sometimes I’ll do all 100 at once. Whatever I do, I try to get those in.

It’s very important with an artificial leg that all high heels are exactly the same height.
