I wanted to post her interview from Jimmy Kimmel Live! because I wanted you to see what an awesome and funny person she is. Without her on Dancing with the Stars, there is no one left (for me personally) to root for or enjoy.
Marlee Matlin is an inspiration and I aspire to be half as admirable as her. Way to go!
Here is what Marlee Matlin posted on her MySpace after the show:

it’s 11:00 pm on Tuesday – I’m back home
Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities
I don’t have much time to write this because I’ve got to get to bed and get up at 2:45 am to get myself back to CBS for a Good Morning America Interview at 4 am. Then it’s off to catch a plane to NY and Thursday, Fabian and i will be on Regis and Kelly. I’ll be back Thursday night.
With this brief time before I get to bed, I want to just say thank you to all of you out there who sent in words of support and love. I know we’ve heard this so many times, that I was an inspiration to you all. But in all honesty, you ALL inspired me. Now I have a dancer inside of me and Fabian in my heart. At the end of the day, I wanted to show my children that Mom could do whatever she set her mind to in the same way Henry Winkler and my parents told me. Nothing will ever stop me from dreaming and as I have said so many times, silence is the last thing the world will ever hear from me. i hope and pray that it is the same for all of you.
Thank you. Peace and love to you all
And not to worry! I’ll be back!! You can count on it.
Marlee
Hopefully her career will only continue to grow now that we finally know the woman behind the Oscar and so many other accolades!
BTW Jimmy Kimmel Live! has some good guests coming up…Eric Dane tonight, Jean Smart tomorrow, Neil Patrick Harris on Friday and on May 15th his BFF Clay Aiken!!!
