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.

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?

I have now is whenever my kids say, Can you look at this? or Can I ask you something? or Can you come here for a minute? no matter what I am doing, I say yes instead of saying, Just a sec. They never abuse the privilege, and I never once regretted it. What they took me away to do was never less important than what I was doing alrea

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.

I might have skipped class, but I didn't miss any lessons.
Michael J. Fox
The more I expect, the more unhappy I am going to be. The more I accept, the more serene I am.

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.

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.

There are no moments you have frozen in amber. It's moving, it's changing, so appreciate what's good about right now and be ready for what's next.
Michael J. Fox
I don't look at life as a battle or as a fight. I don't think I'm scrappy. I'm accepting.
