I have never been disabled in my dreams.

We live in a time when the words impossible and unsolvable are no longer part of the scientific community's vocabulary. Each day we move closer to trials that will not just minimize the symptoms of disease and injury but eliminate them.

The bigger the canvas, the better I do. I'm not so good at understated, kitchen-sink kinds of parts.

When we turn our attention away from ourselves, our potential is limitless.

I remember telling a neurosurgeon, "Don't give me too much information, because at the moment my ignorance is my best asset."

So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.

And if you can channel the truth of your own experience onto the stage, that's what the audience wants to see.
