I believe that the majority of times the scale tilts toward the good. It's this amazing thing that rolls on and if we get in the flow of it, that's God. And if we fight it, if we swim the other way, we're swimming away from the purest expression of this life.

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.

Pity is a benign form of abuse.

But the key to our marriage is the capacity to give each other a break. And to realize that it's not how our similarities work together; it's how our differences work together.

I didn't want o do metal work and get my hands all nicked up and be around guys. So I took drama because there were a lot of girls.

I don't have any affirmations, I don't have any of that stuff. My natural state is to look at things as possibilities and as opportunities.

I still play hockey every now and then, and I still golf. But my biggest exercise is walking my big dog in the park every day.

Life delivered me a catastrophe, but I found a richness of soul.

I don't subscribe to any particular orthodoxy, so I don't define it and I don't put it into a definition that other people have to conform to. An expression I always use is, there is a God and it's not me.

After a year or so I really thought I was Howard Hughes. Here I was at eighteen years old, getting all these checks.

By the time I entered high school, I had forsaken academics altogether in favor of my burgeoning acting career.

Everybody in the world knew I was before I knew who I was.

I always felt that I came up short in the education department, but I've come to the conclusion that we all get an education.

I don't look at life as a battle or as a fight.

I don't want people to kick my ass, I just want to get to a point where they can't kick it.

I got sick of turning on the TV and seeing my face.

I have a remarkably normal life.

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

I love the irony. I'm perceived as being really young and yet I have the clinical condition of an old man.

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.
