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
Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it saved my ass.
Michael J. Fox

Michael J. Fox
I urge you to be challenged and inspired by what you do not know.
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

Michael J. Fox
My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations.
Michael J. Fox
Optimism is a cure for many things.
Michael J. Fox
One of the great things about Parkinson's, in a superficial way, is it relieved me of vanity. I don't worry about what I look like, because it's literally out of my hands. But on a deeper level, it gives you a real humility, because you have to deal every day with the fact that you compromise.
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
The only thing worse than an opportunity you don't deserve is blowing an opportunity.
Michael J. Fox
Family is not an important thing. It's everything.
Michael J. Fox
If you fixate on the worst-case scenario and it actually happens, you’ve lived it twice.
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
I see possibilities in everything. For everything that's taken away, something of greater value has been given.
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.
