Oddly enough, MS has made my life so much better than it was before. I now appreciate what I have and I am not running around like a rat in a maze.

I have worked enough and I am happy to be touring the country speaking about living with MS to give people inspiration and motivation to help themselves.

You can be diagnosed and treated early. And there is hope for the future.

Take a step back, evaluate what is important, and enjoy life.

I was in an acting class taught by Eric Morris, and Jack Nicholson was in the class. He wrote the script for 'Head', so all of us in the class got little tiny parts in the movie.

If you get a diagnosis, get on a therapy, keep a good attitude and keep your sense of humor.

I understand how hard it is to talk to people about MS. You don't want pity or random advice.
