Michael J Fox Quotes

I have no choice about whether or not I have Parkinson’s. I have nothing but choices about how I react to it. In those choices, there’s freedom to do a lot of things in areas that I wouldn’t have otherwise found myself in Picture Quote #1

If I don’t get food in my mouth, I’m still happy. If my pants are round my ankles, as long as I don’t get arrested for indecent exposure, I’m happy. I’m worried about keeping my hair, not how it’s combed Picture Quote #1

After a year or so I really thought I was Howard Hughes. Here I was at eighteen years old, getting all these checks Picture Quote #1

If I were overweight because I ate too much, I would have far more of a complex. I would know if I just stopped eating and showed a little discipline I would be thin. But there’s not a hell of a lot I can do about being short. You just gotta run with it Picture Quote #1

The laughs mean more to me than the adoration. If two girls walk up to me and one says ‘you’re cute’, I’ll say thank you, but I appreciate it much more when the other one says ‘you make me laugh so much’ Picture Quote #1

You know what I want? The answer is, I truly don’t know what I want. I don’t want to do a television series. I want to do dramas as well as comedies, but I have no idea what kind or in what order. Just give me the chance at them Picture Quote #1

A little acting debut in Spin City, with Michael J. Fox, which opened up a whole new door for me Picture Quote #1

In fact, Parkinson’s has made me a better person. A better husband, father and overall human being Picture Quote #1

I can’t always control my body the way I want to, and I can’t control when I feel good or when I don’t. I can control how clear my mind is. And I can control how willing I am to step up if somebody needs me Picture Quote #1

I believe that the majority of times the scale tilts toward the good. It’s this amazing thing that rolls on and if we get in the flow of it, that’s God. And if we fight it, if we swim the other way, we’re swimming away from the purest expression of this life Picture Quote #1

I don’t subscribe to any particular doctrine or ideology. I just think that there’s kind of a good and bad, the good being life in its purest, happiest form, and the other being the darker side of existence Picture Quote #1

So what I say about Tracy is this: Tracy’s big challenge is not having a Parkinson’s patient for a husband. It’s having me for a husband. I happen to be a Parkinson’s patient Picture Quote #1

That’s the way I look at things - if you focus on the worst case scenario and it happens, you’ve lived it twice. It sounds like Pollyanna-ish tripe but I’m telling you - it works for me Picture Quote #1

Vanity’s really overrated. When I was 20, teenage girls had my picture on the wall... I don’t need to be pretty anymore. I just am who I am Picture Quote #1

I mean, I enjoy my work as an actor. But to make a difference in people’s lives through advocacy and through supporting research - that’s the kind of privilege that few people will get, and it’s certainly bigger than being on TV every Thursday for half an hour Picture Quote #1

If you have doubts about someone, lay on a couple of jokes. If he doesn’t find anything funny, your radar should be screaming. Then I would say be patient with people who are negative, because they’re really having a hard time Picture Quote #1

Now I feel and I say all the time that vanity is, like, long gone. I’m really free of worrying about what I look like, because it’s out of my shaky hands. I don’t control it. So why would I waste one second of my life worrying about it? Picture Quote #1

As much as Parkinson’s is about movement, the end stage is being frozen. So the more I let that happen, the more I’m gonna be stuck within that and unable to reverse it Picture Quote #1

I didn’t just want to be a poster boy and sign on to publicize somebody else’s method of operations. If I was going to put myself out there, I wanted to make sure that it was to an end. So I got involved with this congressional hearing about Parkinson’s being underfunded Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If you asked my kids to describe me, they’d go through a whole list of words before even thinking about Parkinson’s. And honestly, I don’t think about it that much either. I talk about it because it’s there, but it’s not my totality Picture Quote #1

No, I got a GED in my 30s. My kids know that I never stop learning, and they know I love reading. I have books overflowing everywhere. I am current on today’s events and I read the paper every day, and we talk about it, so they see that appetite Picture Quote #1

So I never spend a lot of time analyzing why people respond to my work. But I think that it’s just the joy, a passion for life, that I think has always been in my characters. Beyond that, I’m just grateful for it Picture Quote #1

While it is entirely untrue that Canadians lack a sense of humour, the funniest ones tend to head south: Dan Aykroyd, Jim Carrey, Michael J. Fox Picture Quote #1

There’s something about Michael J. Fox that I loved when he did all the 80s stuff. His way of performing all the physicality, which is why it’s so tragic now, but the way he used his body so much as well, I loved Picture Quote #1

Conservatives and companies condoned Rush Limbaugh’s 2006 attacks on Michael J. Fox for campaigning about stem cell research Picture Quote #1

When prescribing one of the drugs I take, my doctor warned me of a common side effect: exaggerated, intensely vivid dreams. To be honest, I’ve never really noticed the difference. I’ve always dreamt big Picture Quote #1

Chris[topher] Reeve wisely parsed the difference between optimism and hope. Unlike optimism, he said, ‘Hope is the product of knowledge and the projection of where the knowledge can take us Picture Quote #1

There’s an idea I came across a few years ago that I love: My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance and in inverse proportion to my expectations. That’s the key for me. If I can accept the truth of ‘This is what I’m facing - not what can I expect but what I am experiencing now’ - then I have all this freedom to do other things Picture Quote #1

Pay attention to what’s happening around you. Read the book before you see the movie. Remember, though you, alone, are responsible for your own happiness, its still okay to feel responsible for someone else’s. Live and to learn Picture Quote #1
