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.

The more I expect, the more unhappy I am going to be. The more I accept, the more serene I am.

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

There are no moments you have frozen in amber. It's moving, it's changing, so appreciate what's good about right now and be ready for what's next.

You've probably read in People that I'm a nice guy - but when the doctor first told me I had Parkinson's, I wanted to kill him.

I think I benefited from being equal parts ambitious and curious. And of the two, curiosity has served me best.

Image
I don't look at life as a battle or as a fight. I don't think I'm scrappy. I'm accepting.

I believe that the majority of times the scale tilts toward the good. It's this amazing thing that rolls on and if we get in the flow of it, that's God. And if we fight it, if we swim the other way, we're swimming away from the purest expression of this life.

I can't be smug, because I know that you can lose anything at any point. And I can't be angry, because I haven't lost it.

I didn't just want to be a poster boy and sign on to publicize somebody else's method of operations. If I was going to put myself out there, I wanted to make sure that it was to an end. So I got involved with this congressional hearing about Parkinson's being underfunded.
