I Don't Look At Myself As A

Ironic That In Order To Do My Life's Work, I Had To Quit My Day Job.

I Take The Medication For Myself So I Can Transact, Not For Anyone Else. But I Am Aware That It Is Empowering For People To See What I Do And, For The Most Part, People In The Parkinson's Community Are Just Really Happy That Parkinson's Is Getting Mentioned, And Not In A Pitying Way.

Look At The Choices You Have, Not The Choices That Have Been Taken Away From You. In Them, There Are Whole Worlds Of Strength And New Ways To Look At Things.

If You Were To Rush Into This Room Right Now And Announce That You Had Struck A Deal - With God, Allah, Buddha, Christ, Krishna, Bill Gates, Whomever - In Which The Ten Years Since My Diagnosis Could Be Magically Taken Away, Traded In For Ten More Years As The Person I Was Before - I Would, Without A Moment's Hesitation, Tell You To Take A Hike.

A Creative Mess Is Better Than Idle Tidiness.
