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

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

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

Now I feel and I say all the time that vanity is, like, long gone. I'm really free of worrying about what I look like, because it's out of my shaky hands. I don't control it. So why would I waste one second of my life worrying about it?

He gave life to the breath- oxygen, a simple gas, he transferred into words, ideas, hope.

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.

I've learned some exciting things - mostly, that people really want to help each other; and that, if you can lay out a vision for them - and that vision is sincere and genuine - they'll get interested.
