I don't look at life as a battle or as a fight. I don't think I'm scrappy. I'm accepting.

More quotes by Michael J. Fox
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.
Michael J. Fox
If one of my kids reads a book for school and I can have a conversation with her about the book and I sense that she gets what the book is about, then it doesn't really matter to me if she gets an A on the paper.
Michael J. Fox
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.
Michael J. Fox
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.
Michael J. Fox
Teenagers blithely skip off to uncertain futures, while their parents sit weeping curbside in the Volvo, because the adolescent brain isn't yet formed enough to recognize and evaluate risk.
Michael J. Fox
It is ironic that in the same year we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the discovery of DNA, some would have us ban certain forms of DNA medical research. Restricting medical research has very real human consequences, measured in loss of life and tremendous suffering for patients and their families.
Michael J. Fox
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.
Michael J. Fox
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.
Michael J. Fox
One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but cannot be taken away unless it is surrendered.
Michael J. Fox
I had all the usual ambition growing up. I wanted to be a writer, a musician, a hockey player. I wanted to do something that wasn't nine to five. Acting was the first thing I tried that clicked.
Michael J. Fox
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.
Michael J. Fox
I didn't want o do metal work and get my hands all nicked up and be around guys. So I took drama because there were a lot of girls.
Michael J. Fox
I got sick of turning on the TV and seeing my face.
Michael J. Fox
In fact, Parkinson's has made me a better person. A better husband, father and overall human being.
Michael J. Fox
Life is what you put into it and how much you take out of it. You put in more than is expected, and you take out less than you want.
Michael J. Fox
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'.
Michael J. Fox
I definitely believe in a higher power.
Michael J. Fox
If you want to be an agent of change, it starts with you and what you're made of.
Michael J. Fox
If you fixate on the worst-case scenario and it actually happens, you’ve lived it twice.
Michael J. Fox
When life takes away, something of greater value is always given in return.
Michael J. Fox
