I recently saw the movie about Ray Charles, and there's a scene where he falls down and the mother doesn't help him. She says, I don't want anyone to treat you like a cripple. I've fallen down before, and Molly will say, get up and just go.

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 think there are a lot of myths about MS, and it may have affected my career.

I have an enormous fondness for delicious food. It's very comforting.

I have a disease, but I also have a lot of other things.

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

In addition to having a good partnership with a good doctor, you have to do some of the work yourself. Go online, read about it, and find out what you can tolerate.

I go to my physical therapist to keep fighting it and one of them told me if you don't use it, you lose it, but I know we're on television so I won't say what I would often say.

Someday they may cure MS, that idiot thing. It gets in there and they can't get it out.

I've always been this insane. Isn't that interesting?

I'm wondering if they haven't reported all the people with MS, because if all of the cases were reported, the government would have to step in and give more financial aid to us.

You have to lift your head up out of the mud and just do it.

I recently saw the movie about Ray Charles, and there's a scene where he falls down and the mother doesn't help him. She says, I don't want anyone to treat you like a cripple. I've fallen down before, and Molly will say, get up and just go.

I plan to live to be 120!

I have heard all kinds of stories about telling employers about MS and I really don't know what the answer is. I am a private person, but I have found support by talking to fellow MSrs in the community.

Any movie I've ever made, the minute you walk on the set they tell you who's the person to buy it from.

There were symptoms that I saw, and though I went to many doctors and had many tests, no one diagnosed MS.

I have been off the motorcycles for about 20 years now, but that doesn't mean I can't still do it.

With this disease it is so easy to throw in the towel, and that is the worst thing we can do.

You can keep it to yourself, but you could also call a support team like the team at MS LifeLines. They are there to support the MS community and give good advice.

I take one of the interferon therapies, Rebif.

My doctor said, for want of a better word, now that we've got medicines out here that can help, let's put you on one of them and say we're treating MS.

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

I think eventually they're going to find out that MS is like 10 different things. I have a neurological disease something like MS, and it's MS, so let's take medicine for it.

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

There's always going to be somebody worse off than me.

I do Pilates a lot. I don't do a lot of cardiovascular stuff.

Seventy-five percent of MS sufferers are women.

MS doesn't define who I am.

There are things that you can do today that, years ago, there was nothing. The community today needs to know that with MRI and the current medications the view is good.

You have to find out what's right for you, so it's trial and error. You are going to be all right if you accept realistic goals for yourself.

I refused David Letterman's proposal of marriage for obvious reasons, but thanks for asking.

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

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.

'30 Rock' is one of the best things on TV, I think.

Being a successful Hollywood actress may be challenging, but little did I know that the very body that had always been my calling card would betray me.

Being sensitive to the problem of women is just another symptom of the quality of movies: I don't think you can do anything that's very sensitive. Everything's sort of broad strokes and big gestures - adventure things that boys, guys want to see.

Directors would tell me, 'We want you to play a character a little less complex than you are.' Yeah, sure. What they mean is, 'You're playing a dummy.'

Elvis used to have parties at his house - and I've told this story a million times - but they weren't really parties, because there was no chips or dip. Just Elvis and his boys watching TV, and him making funny comments, and everybody laughing at them. Is that a party? Not really. But that's Hollywood.

Everyone I tell that I had an aneurysm always says, 'Oh, my cousin died from that.' Well, I didn't, so I'm amazed. I was in a wheelchair, and I had to go to rehab. And now I'm walking!

God is in all - I believe in God, yes. And I believe God is in us.

Going to dancing school, or being in a play, is a very familial feeling. You're around friends.

Having to manage fatigue is something I and many people with MS have to deal with, and heat is no friend to my MS, either; it can be devastating.

How come women are treated differently from men all the time? Not only handicapped people, but women - and handicapped women, forget it!

I always say don't be scared. It's not that bad - there's always something worse - and there is definitely life after multiple sclerosis.

I danced in a company of 'West Side Story' when I was very young. It was most of the original cast - Larry Kert, Chita Rivera - and Jerry Robbins directed. It was tough, a wonderful initiation for me.

I did a string of about six or seven Elvis movies, all in a row. He made all of those movies in two years' time. All of them bad. Don't quote me.

I didn't tell people because I didn't want pity, and I was afraid I wouldn't get work. But others with MS need to know they are not alone. We don't have to be victims.

I don't consider that I have to judge any of the movies I make all the time, but people are always asking me, 'What's your favorite movie?' And I never know what to say.
