Here's a link to an interview with Stephen Hawking in May 10, 2011 Science section, New York Times:

He talks about aliens, physics and also about living with a disability.
Here's an excerpt:
Q. Given all you’ve experienced, what words would you offer someone who has been diagnosed with a serious illness, perhaps A.L.S.?
A. My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn’t prevent you doing well, and don’t regret the things it interferes with. Don’t be disabled in spirit, as well as physically.
Smart words to live by. We're all works in progress. I try and practice this daily,
and it's not always smooth sailing... "Still seas do not a skilled mariner make".
