Pay attention to what's happening around you. Read the book before you see the movie. Remember, though you, alone, are responsible for your own happiness, its still okay to feel responsible for someone else's. Live and to learn.

I can get sad, I can get frustrated, I can get scared, but I never get depressed - because there's joy in my life.

I urge you to be challenged and inspired by what you do not know.

I don't think [Parkinson's] is Gothic nastiness. There's nothing on the surface that's horrible about someone with a shaky hand. There's nothing horrible about someone in their life saying, "God, I'm really tired of this shaky hand thing" and me saying, "Me, too." That's our reality. We have no control over it.

I'm also very proud to be a part of a trilogy of films that, if they do nothing else, allow people to check their problems at the door, sit down and have a good time.

If you allow for the possibilities of something better, you move toward it instinctively.

As for my own truncated secondary education, my head was in the clouds as my mom would say, or if you asked my father, up my ass.
