More quotes by Michael J. Fox
I got sick of turning on the TV and seeing my face.
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
I often say now I don't have any choice whether or not I have Parkinson's, but surrounding that non-choice is a million other choices that I can make.
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.
Michael J. Fox
I've learned some exciting things - mostly, that people really want to help each other and that, if you can lay out a vision for them - and that vision is sincere and genuine - they'll get interested.
Michael J. Fox
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.
Michael J. Fox
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.
Michael J. Fox
There are no moments you have frozen in amber. It's moving, it's changing, so appreciate what's good about right now and be ready for what's next.
Michael J. Fox
Do the right thing, and then do the next right thing, and that will lead you to the next right thing after that.
Michael J. Fox
The 'Rescue Me' gig was a unique opportunity to play a character - a misanthropic, angry guy - who was so contrary to how people think of me.
Michael J. Fox
I think there's a God and I know it's not me.
Michael J. Fox
I definitely believe in a higher power.
Michael J. Fox
If you have one foot in yesterday and one foot in tomorrow, you're pissing all over today.
Michael J. Fox
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
The biggest gift on Father's Day is if I can be with all my kids.
Michael J. Fox
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).
Michael J. Fox
When life takes away, something of greater value is always given in return.
Michael J. Fox
I don't have any affirmations, I don't have any of that stuff. My natural state is to look at things as possibilities and as opportunities.
Michael J. Fox
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.
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
