When life takes away, something of greater value is always given in return.

I had all the usual ambition growing up. I wanted to be a writer, a musician, a hockey player. I wanted to do something that wasn't nine to five. Acting was the first thing I tried that clicked.

My age makes me think how valuable life is. How bad is something like Parkinson's in relation to not having life at all?

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.

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

My tattoo is that I don't have a tattoo.

I don't want people to kick my ass, I just want to get to a point where they can't kick it.
