In fact, Parkinson's has made me a better person. A better husband, father and overall human being.

The laughs mean more to me than the adoration. If two girls walk up to me and one says 'you're cute', I'll say 'thank you', but I appreciate it much more when the other one says 'you make me laugh so much'.

I've never gotten up to see something one of my kids wanted to show me and not been rewarded.

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

I have a remarkably normal life.

In my 50s I'll be dancing at my children's weddings.

The moment I understood this - that my Parkinson's was the one thing I wasn't going to change - I started looking at the things I could change, like the way research is funded.
