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.

I like to encourage people to realize that any action is a good action if it's proactive and there is positive intent behind it.
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.

When life takes away, something of greater value is always given in return.

Image
They did something once that slurred my speech, and I thought, Oh, man, you're messing with my brain. It's freaking me out.
Michael J. Fox
Image
I can't be smug, because I know that you can lose anything at any point. And I can't be angry, because I haven't lost it.

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.
