Key Quote: “[When] Davis Guggenheim would like to do a documentary about you – whether you’re in the business or not – you’re going to want to do that, work with someone of that quality, and I certainly did. He understood that the writing I’d done and what the feeling was behind it, it was not a ‘oh, what terrible things happened to you with Parkinson’s’ story, it was a story about what great things happen to you when you’re alive.” – Michael J. Fox
