My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations.

I think there's a God and I know it's not me. I don't have a set of tenets, but I live an ethical life.

The purpose that you wish to find in life, like a cure you seek, is not going to fall from the sky. ...I believe purpose is something for which one is responsible; it's not just divinely assigned.

Discipline is just doing the same thing the right way whether anyone's watching or not.

My view of life is colored by humor and looking at the best in any situation.

I happen to be a Parkinson's patient. I'm not fearful of my condition or my future - but if someone is looking in my eyes for fear, then they see their own fear reflected back at them.

I often say now I don't have any choice whether or not I have Parkinson's, but surrounding that non-choice is a million other choices that I can make.
