I don't set a whole lot of goals. It smacks a little bit of will to me, and I find that will is not the way to go for me.

I happen to be a Parkinson's patient. I'm not fearful of my condition or my future - but if someone is looking in my eyes for fear, then they see their own fear reflected back at them.

Image
I see possibilities in everything. For everything that's taken away, something of greater value has been given.

I don't think [Parkinson's] is Gothic nastiness. There's nothing on the surface that's horrible about someone with a shaky hand. There's nothing horrible about someone in their life saying, God, I'm really tired of this shaky hand thing and me saying, Me, too. That's our reality. We have no control over it.

You suffer the blow, but you capitalize on the opportunity left in its wake.

I wouldn't have wanted to miss the opportunity to make those three films that didn't do well. They were really important to me, and the things I learned doing them were important to me.

I truly believe that we have infinite levels of power that we don't even know are available to us.

I really love being alive. I love my family and my work. I love the opportunity I have to do things. That's what happiness is.

Life is good, and there's no reason to think it won't be--right up until the moment when everything explodes into a fireball of tiny, unrecognizable fragments, or it all goes skidding sideways, through the guardrail, over the embankment, and down the mountain. This will happen (and probably more than once).

The only thing worse than an opportunity you don't deserve is blowing an opportunity.

Teenagers blithely skip off to uncertain futures, while their parents sit weeping curbside in the Volvo, because the adolescent brain isn't yet formed enough to recognize and evaluate risk.

Image
If you have one foot in yesterday and one foot in tomorrow, you're pissing all over today.

I always felt that I came up short in the education department, but I've come to the conclusion that we all get an education.

The moment I understood this - that my Parkinson's was the one thing I wasn't going to change - I started looking at the things I could change, like the way research is funded.

Just as Parkinson's isn't a big topic of conversation in my house, neither is my career.

I like to encourage people to realize that any action is a good action if it's proactive and there is positive intent behind it.

Always be available to your kids. Because if you say, 'Give me five minutes, give me ten minutes,' it'll be 15, it'll be 20. And then when you get there, the shine will have worn off whatever it is they wanted to share with you.

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it saved my ass.

If you fixate on the worst-case scenario and it actually happens, you’ve lived it twice.

The way I look at life, and the way I look at the reality of Parkinson's, is that sometimes it's frustrating and sometimes it's funny. I need to look at it that way, and I think other people will look at it that way.

As with any turning point or instance when a new road is chosen and an old one forsaken, there are consequences.
