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.

More quotes by 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
In my 50s I'll be dancing at my children's weddings.
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
Disease is a non-partisan problems that requires a non-partisan solution.

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
If you fixate on the worst-case scenario and it actually happens, you’ve lived it twice.

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
I'm also very proud to be a part of a trilogy of films that, if they do nothing else, allow people to check their problems at the door, sit down and have a good time.
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
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
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 still play hockey every now and then, and I still golf. But my biggest exercise is walking my big dog in the park every day.
Michael J. Fox
The only thing worse than an opportunity you don't deserve is blowing an opportunity.
Michael J. Fox
The more I expect, the more unhappy I am going to be. The more I accept, the more serene I am.
Michael J. Fox
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.
Michael J. Fox
Discipline is just doing the same thing the right way whether anyone's watching or not.
Michael J. Fox
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'.
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
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.
