More quotes by Michael J. Fox
Look at the choices you have, not the choices that have been taken away from you. In them, there are whole worlds of strength and new ways to look at things.
Michael J. Fox
Acceptance doesn't mean resignation it means understanding that something is what it is and that there's got to be a way through it.
Michael J. Fox
You know you're old when you get a lifetime achievement award. It's a message you've been around too long.
Michael J. Fox
The only thing worse than an opportunity you don't deserve is blowing an opportunity.
Michael J. Fox
I have no argument with those who see in organized religion a template or an imperative to live life according to a prescribed set of beliefs. Just give others the room, within the laws of civil society, to believe or not believe whatever they like.
Michael J. Fox
I don't set a whole lot of goals. It smacks a little bit of will to me, and I find that will is not the way to go for me.
Michael J. Fox
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
Michael J. Fox
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
The way I look at life, and the way I look at the reality of Parkinson's, is that sometimes it's frustrating and sometimes it's funny. I need to look at it that way, and I think other people will look at it that way.
Michael J. Fox
I see possibilities in everything. For everything that's taken away, something of greater value has been given.
Michael J. Fox
I didn't just want to be a poster boy and sign on to publicize somebody else's method of operations. If I was going to put myself out there, I wanted to make sure that it was to an end. So I got involved with this congressional hearing about Parkinson's being underfunded.

No, I got a GED in my 30s. My kids know that I never stop learning, and they know I love reading. I have books overflowing everywhere. I am current on today's events and I read the paper every day, and we talk about it, so they see that appetite.
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
Whatever the situation, just take it for what it is. You don't have to make it worse or better than it is. It just is what it is. Always deal with the honesty, the truth of what something is, and then you've got all kinds of choices.
Michael J. Fox
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.
Michael J. Fox
A lot of times, when you have a disability, one of the things you deal with is other people's projections of what your experience is and their fear about it, and not seeing the experience you're having. There's nothing horrifying about it to me. It is what I deal with. It is my reality and my life, but it's not horrible.
Michael J. Fox
The thing that brings people to wail at a wall, or face Mecca, or to go to church, is a search for that feeling of purity.
Michael J. Fox
I think there's a God and I know it's not me.
Michael J. Fox
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.
Michael J. Fox
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.
