I don't subscribe to any particular doctrine or ideology. I just think that there's kind of a good and bad, the good being life in its purest, happiest form, and the other being the darker side of existence.
Michael J. Fox
Image
I think I benefited from being equal parts ambitious and curious. And of the two, curiosity has served me best.
Michael J. Fox
Image
I take the medication for myself so I can transact, not for anyone else. But I am aware that it is empowering for people to see what I do and, for the most part, people in the Parkinson's community are just really happy that Parkinson's is getting mentioned, and not in a pitying way.

If Spirituality is that you're humble in the face of forces greater than you and you believe those forces are more inclined toward being good than being bad, then I'm a spiritual person.
Michael J. Fox
Image
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
Image
I don't burden myself too much with others' expectations - or even my own expectations. I think your happiness grows in direct proportion to your acceptance, and in inverse proportion to your expectations. It's just a matter of putting one foot in front of the other - or doing the next right thing, so to speak.

You suffer the blow, but you capitalize on the opportunity left in its wake.

My wife is Jewish, and therefore, it's my children's birthright to be Jewish.

Do the right thing, and then do the next right thing, and that will lead you to the next right thing after that.

Image
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.

I have so many things that I say to my kids, I just drive them crazy.
Michael J. Fox
Image
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
Image
I'm kind of private and I keep things inside a lot, but it's been so wonderful to realize that people care about you in a very deep way and that there is some bond between an actor and his audience. I don't even know how to describe that feeling.
Michael J. Fox
Image
When I was 20, I would have taken a bullet in the head to never have to be 35.

Just as Parkinson's isn't a big topic of conversation in my house, neither is my career.
Michael J. Fox
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.

Pay attention to what's happening around you. Read the book before you see the movie. Remember, though you, alone, are responsible for your own happiness, its still okay to feel responsible for someone else's. Live and to learn.

The only thing worse than an opportunity you don't deserve is blowing an opportunity.

Image
One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but cannot be taken away unless it is surrendered.

There's something I have about being Canadian - there's a distance it gives you when you live in the States and operate in American culture. You approach familiar things a different way you come at it from a different angle. It's a trait that runs through a lot Canadian artists' work and actors' work and musicians' - that kind of special remove.
