So what I say about Tracy is this: Tracy's big challenge is not having a Parkinson's patient for a husband. It's having me for a husband. I happen to be a Parkinson's patient.

Everything is cause and effect. If you don't move, nothing will move with you, and nothing will move toward you.

Don't spend a lot of time imagining the worst-case scenario. It rarely goes down as you imagine it will, and if by some fluke it does, you will have lived it twice.

If you asked my kids to describe me, they'd go through a whole list of words before even thinking about Parkinson's. And honestly, I don't think about it that much either. I talk about it because it's there, but it's not my totality.

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

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.

I'm going to marry a Jewish woman because I like the idea of getting up Sunday morning and going to the deli.
