As much as Parkinson's is about movement, the end stage is being frozen. So the more I let that happen, the more I'm gonna be stuck within that and unable to reverse it.

I've never gotten up to see something one of my kids wanted to show me and not been rewarded.

I might have skipped class, but I didn't miss any lessons.

If you have doubts about someone, lay on a couple of jokes. If he doesn't find anything funny, your radar should be screaming. Then I would say be patient with people who are negative, because they're really having a hard time.

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 take the medication for myself so I can transact, not for anyone else. But I am aware that it is empowering for people to see what I do and, for the most part, people in the Parkinson's community are just really happy that Parkinson's is getting mentioned, and not in a pitying way.

I love the irony. I'm perceived as being really young and yet I have the clinical condition of an old man.
