My experience is to deal with things through humor.

He gave life to the breath- oxygen, a simple gas, he transferred into words, ideas, hope.

I think there's a God and I know it's not me.

I'm kind of private and I keep things inside a lot, but it's been so wonderful to realize that people care about you in a very deep way and that there is some bond between an actor and his audience. I don't even know how to describe that feeling.

I really love being alive. I love my family and my work. I love the opportunity I have to do things. That's what happiness is.

That's the way I look at things - if you focus on the worst case scenario and it happens, you've lived it twice. It sounds like Pollyanna-ish tripe but I'm telling you - it works for me.

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.
