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.
I do Pilates a lot. I don't do a lot of cardiovascular stuff.
Someday they may cure MS, that idiot thing. It gets in there and they can't get it out.
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.
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.

Seventy-five percent of MS sufferers are women
There's always going to be somebody worse off than me

I have an enormous fondness for delicious food. It's very comforting
When you hear the word 'disabled,' people immediately think about people who can't walk or talk or do everything that people take for granted. Now, I take nothing for granted. But I find the real disability is people who can't find joy in life and are bitter.
