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.

As with any turning point or instance when a new road is chosen and an old one forsaken, there are consequences.
Michael J. Fox
Image
I'm kind of private and I keep things inside a lot, but it's been so wonderful to realize that people care about you in a very deep way and that there is some bond between an actor and his audience. I don't even know how to describe that feeling.

As for my own truncated secondary education, my head was in the clouds as my mom would say, or if you asked my father, up my ass.

Acceptance is the key to everything.

My notion of spirituality was different than it is now, but even if I'd been the most fundamentalist of believers, I would have assumed that God had better things to do than arbitrarily smite me with shaking palsy.

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.

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.

I think there's a God and I know it's not me.

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it saved my ass.

By the time I entered high school, I had forsaken academics altogether in favor of my burgeoning acting career.

I have so many things that I say to my kids, I just drive them crazy.
Michael J. Fox
Image
I've learned some exciting things - mostly, that people really want to help each other and that, if you can lay out a vision for them - and that vision is sincere and genuine - they'll get interested.

Image
I don't burden myself too much with others' expectations - or even my own expectations. I think your happiness grows in direct proportion to your acceptance, and in inverse proportion to your expectations. It's just a matter of putting one foot in front of the other - or doing the next right thing, so to speak.

I don't set a whole lot of goals. It smacks a little bit of will to me, and I find that will is not the way to go for me.

Image
I definitely believe in a higher power.

Image
I like to encourage people to realize that any action is a good action if it's proactive and there is positive intent behind it.

I have a remarkably normal life.

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'.

Look at the choices you have, not the choices that have been taken away from you. In them, there are whole worlds of strength and new ways to look at things.
