I can't always control my body the way I want to, and I can't control when I feel good or when I don't. I can control how clear my mind is. And I can control how willing I am to step up if somebody needs me.

I don't look at life as a battle or as a fight. I don't think I'm scrappy. I'm accepting.

I worked very hard on those movies but there was some creative connection that wasn't being made.

I can say, "I don't have anything I regret!" But I can also say, "I can go forward in my life the way it is and I don't think I'll accrue any future regrets."

I'm a dad, I'm a husband, I'm an activist, I'm a writer and I'm just a student of the world.

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.

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