• Marlee has said a million times, "Wouldn't it be funny if there was a camera trained on the two of us?" because we get involved in some very interesting situations. We'll be on a plane and she gets handed a Braille menu because they think she is blind, or producers that turn to the director of a show she's on and say, "Marlee Matlin is great, but is she going to be deaf for the whole show?" She used to freak people out with the speaker phone in her car by having me sign what they were saying on the speaker phone and then she would speak herself.

• When Marlee [Matlin] won her Oscar, she said, "and I just want to thank my parents." When I was saying those words for her, I knew my parents were in the audience. I was saying it for her and a little bit for myself, even though I wasn't saying it in sign language and they didn't understand what I was saying.

• Pasé a la Universidad de California, Berkley, coordinando a los intérpretes para los estudiantes sordos de la universidad. El primer año que estuve en Berkley, trajimos a artistas, intérpretes, actores y poetas para crear un festival de arte para sordos. Hice gran parte de la interpretación para los artistas. El segundo año me di cuenta de que me gustaba producir festivales de arte que tuvieran algo que ver con los signos.

• Cuando crecí, no había teletipos ni videollamadas, así que principalmente interpretaba llamadas telefónicas. En aquella época, donde yo vivía, no era vergonzoso tener padres sordos; era guay poder hablar una lengua diferente a la de los demás.

• Estoy en la acción, pero no estoy en la acción. Muchas de las interpretaciones que hago rozan a veces la actuación. Me da personalidad y presencia para mostrar la importancia de los intérpretes en la vida de una persona sorda.
