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.

One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but cannot be taken away unless it is surrendered.

I don't set a whole lot of goals. It smacks a little bit of will to me, and I find that will is not the way to go for me.

I didn't just want to be a poster boy and sign on to publicize somebody else's method of operations. If I was going to put myself out there, I wanted to make sure that it was to an end. So I got involved with this congressional hearing about Parkinson's being underfunded.

No matter how much fame you have, it's not something that belongs to you. If I'm famous, that doesn't belong to me-that belongs to you. If you can't remember who I am, I'm no longer famous.

A creative mess is better than idle tidiness.

I got sick of turning on the TV and seeing my face.
