I have so many things that I say to my kids, I just drive them crazy.

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.

So I never spend a lot of time analyzing why people respond to my work. But I think that it's just the joy, a passion for life, that I think has always been in my characters. Beyond that, I'm just grateful for it.

By 21, I was earning six figures a week. By 23, I had a Ferrari. It was nuts.

They did something once that slurred my speech, and I thought, "Oh, man, you're messing with my brain. It's freaking me out."

I like to encourage people to realize that any action is a good action if it's proactive and there is positive intent behind it.

I wouldn't have wanted to miss the opportunity to make those three films that didn't do well. They were really important to me, and the things I learned doing them were important to me.
