More quotes by Michael J. Fox
I urge you to be challenged and inspired by what you do not know.
Michael J. Fox
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.
Michael J. Fox
Now I feel and I say all the time that vanity is, like, long gone. I'm really free of worrying about what I look like, because it's out of my shaky hands. I don't control it. So why would I waste one second of my life worrying about it?
Michael J. Fox
I didn't want o do metal work and get my hands all nicked up and be around guys. So I took drama because there were a lot of girls.
Michael J. Fox
I was eccentric, even as a kid. I was an early reader, an early talker. I was very curious in a way that maybe the other kids weren't. I was a little more outgoing.
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
The more I expect, the more unhappy I am going to be. The more I accept, the more serene I am.
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
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
Zoos are becoming facsimiles - or perhaps caricatures - of how animals once were in their natural habitat. If the right policies toward nature were pursued, we would need no zoos at all.
Michael J. Fox
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.
Michael J. Fox
If you fixate on the worst-case scenario and it actually happens, you’ve lived it twice.
Michael J. Fox
I wouldn't have wanted to miss the opportunity to make those three films that didn't do well. They were really important to me, and the things I learned doing them were important to me.
Michael J. Fox
When something enters your life that is so big and so non-negotiable as catastrophic illness, you either go in denial for a while or ultimately you accept it and you make space for it. And in making space for it, you illuminate a lot of things that you normally don't have room for you simply just look at the world differently.
Michael J. Fox
My wife is Jewish, and therefore, it's my children's birthright to be Jewish.
Michael J. Fox
You've probably read in People that I'm a nice guy - but when the doctor first told me I had Parkinson's, I wanted to kill him.
Michael J. Fox
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.
Michael J. Fox
My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations.
Michael J. Fox
I have so many things that I say to my kids, I just drive them crazy.
Michael J. Fox
Always be available to your kids. Because if you say, 'Give me five minutes, give me ten minutes,' it'll be 15, it'll be 20. And then when you get there, the shine will have worn off whatever it is they wanted to share with you.
Michael J. Fox
