Michael J. Fox
I happen to be a Parkinson's patient. I'm not fearful of my condition or my future - but if someone is looking in my eyes for fear, then they see their own fear reflected back at them.
Michael J. Fox
I was eccentric, even as a kid. I was an early reader, an early talker. I was very curious in a way that maybe the other kids weren't. I was a little more outgoing.

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.

People want leadership, Mr. President, and in the absence of genuine leadership, they'll listen to anyone who steps up to the microphone. They want leadership. They're so thirsty for it they'll crawl through the desert toward a mirage, and when they discover there's no water, they'll drink the sand.
Michael J. Fox
I got sick of turning on the TV and seeing my face.
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
One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but cannot be taken away unless it is surrendered.
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
The biggest gift on Father's Day is if I can be with all my kids.
Michael J. Fox
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.
Michael J. Fox
Acceptance is the key to everything.
Michael J. Fox
In fact, Parkinson's has made me a better person. A better husband, father and overall human being.
Michael J. Fox
I urge you to be challenged and inspired by what you do not know.
Michael J. Fox
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.
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 always felt that I came up short in the education department, but I've come to the conclusion that we all get an education.
Michael J. Fox
Zoos are becoming facsimiles - or perhaps caricatures - of how animals once were in their natural habitat. If the right policies toward nature were pursued, we would need no zoos at all.
