Acceptance doesn't mean resignation it means understanding that something is what it is and that there's got to be a way through it.

I definitely believe in a higher power.

No matter how much fame you have, it's not something that belongs to you. If I'm famous, that doesn't belong to me-that belongs to you. If you can't remember who I am, I'm no longer famous.

I truly believe that we have infinite levels of power that we don't even know are available to us.

Image
I have no argument with those who see in organized religion a template or an imperative to live life according to a prescribed set of beliefs. Just give others the room, within the laws of civil society, to believe or not believe whatever they like.

The more I expect, the more unhappy I am going to be. The more I accept, the more serene I am.

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.

If you want to be an agent of change, it starts with you and what you're made of.

I still play hockey every now and then, and I still golf. But my biggest exercise is walking my big dog in the park every day.

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

I don't have any affirmations, I don't have any of that stuff. My natural state is to look at things as possibilities and as opportunities.

Acceptance is the key to everything.
Michael J. Fox
Image
I don't look at life as a battle or as a fight. I don't think I'm scrappy. I'm accepting.

Image
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'.

If you fixate on the worst-case scenario and it actually happens, you’ve lived it twice.

Always be available to your kids. Because if you say, 'Give me five minutes, give me ten minutes,' it'll be 15, it'll be 20. And then when you get there, the shine will have worn off whatever it is they wanted to share with you.

In fact, Parkinson's has made me a better person. A better husband, father and overall human being.

My natural state is one that's affected by the shortage of dopamine production in my brain. So my natural state is to be halting and at times tremulous and kind of just physically disturbed. I mean, that's my natural state, given the situation in my brain. But I'm always as happy either way. And so when it comes to me, body language lies.

I don't think [Parkinson's] is Gothic nastiness. There's nothing on the surface that's horrible about someone with a shaky hand. There's nothing horrible about someone in their life saying, God, I'm really tired of this shaky hand thing and me saying, Me, too. That's our reality. We have no control over it.
