333 Quotes by Michael J. Fox

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.

In fact, Parkinson’s has made me a better person. A better husband, father and overall human being.

My age makes me think how valuable life is. How bad is something like Parkinson’s in relation to not having life at all?

If you asked my kids to describe me, they’d go through a whole list of words before even thinking about Parkinson’s. And honestly, I don’t think about it that much either. I talk about it because it’s there, but it’s not my totality.

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

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.

Still, what’s happened before and what may happen later can’t be as important as what’s happening now.

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.

If you want to be an agent of change, it starts with you and what you’re made of.
