Searching for some words of wisdom today? On newsstands and in homes nationwide, our fearless founder graces the cover of People Magazine’s “50th Anniversary” issue alongside some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.

1. On experiencing life after a Parkinson’s diagnosis and his message on the journey: “What I believed then and what I believe now, I might not put it in the same words, but you can do anything.

2. On timeless piece of advice from his parents that continues to shape his outlook: “It’s important to be kind to people. Don’t judge people, give them space to be themselves.”   
3. On his sense of humor what he sees as his legacy: “Remember that I was pretty funny and I cared, and all the other stuff just fell in, all the important stuff. I didn't have important stuff in mind when I came down. I just wanted to have a giggle — and I giggled a lot.”
