I think there's a God and I know it's not me. I don't have a set of tenets, but I live an ethical life.

Family is not an important thing. It's everything.
Michael J. Fox
Image
I really love being alive. I love my family and my work. I love the opportunity I have to do things. That's what happiness is.
Michael J. Fox
Image
If you want to be an agent of change, it starts with you and what you're made of.
Michael J. Fox
Image
I definitely believe in a higher power.
Michael J. Fox
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.

The story is a testament to the consolations that get me through and give meaning to every area of my life.

Life is good, and there's no reason to think it won't be--right up until the moment when everything explodes into a fireball of tiny, unrecognizable fragments, or it all goes skidding sideways, through the guardrail, over the embankment, and down the mountain. This will happen (and probably more than once).

Image
So I never spend a lot of time analyzing why people respond to my work. But I think that it's just the joy, a passion for life, that I think has always been in my characters. Beyond that, I'm just grateful for it.

I'm going to marry a Jewish woman because I like the idea of getting up Sunday morning and going to the deli.

Pain is temporary, film is forever.
Michael J. Fox

When I was 20, I would have taken a bullet in the head to never have to be 35.

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.

Image
If you fixate on the worst-case scenario and it actually happens, you’ve lived it twice.
Michael J. Fox
Image
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'.

Image
You know you're old when you get a lifetime achievement award. It's a message you've been around too long.

Image
Only a few of us will admit it, but actors will sometimes read a script like this: bullshit...bullshit...my part...blah, blah, blah...my part...bullshit.

Image
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.

No matter how much fame you have, it's not something that belongs to you. If I'm famous, that doesn't belong to me-that belongs to you. If you can't remember who I am, I'm no longer famous.

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.
