Life is the power that's greater than I can ever comprehend.

You've probably read in People that I'm a nice guy - but when the doctor first told me I had Parkinson's, I wanted to kill him.

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

To be associated with a film that just flat-out makes people happy is such a blessing and a tremendous privilege, and I'll always be grateful for it. People's eyes light up when they talk about it. I've been in Asia, Africa, Europe and even Bhutan; people know the movie there. It's just an amazing thing.

The more I expect, the more unhappy I am going to be. The more I accept, the more serene I am.

I don't look at myself as a leader. I do look at myself as part of a community.

When I started it [non for profit], I thought, I'm not smart enough to do this. I had no experience in management, no experience in administration, no experience in nonprofit; but then this phrase came into my head: I only have to be smart enough to find people who are smarter than me; I only have to be smart enough to recognize who knows more than me.
