When something enters your life that is so big and so non-negotiable as catastrophic illness, you either go in denial for a while or ultimately you accept it and you make space for it. And in making space for it, you illuminate a lot of things that you normally don't have room for you simply just look at the world differently.

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 definitely believe in a higher power.
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
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.

Image
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.

As with any turning point or instance when a new road is chosen and an old one forsaken, there are consequences.

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.

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

When you're a short actor you stand on apple boxes, you walk on a ramp. When you're a short star everybody else walks in a ditch.

My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations.

Image
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.

Pain is temporary, film is forever.

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.
