Family is not an important thing. It's everything.
From Michael J. Fox
My view of life is colored by humor and looking at the best in any situation.
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.
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.
I like to encourage people to realize that any action is a good action if it's proactive and there is positive intent behind it.
There's always failure. And there's always disappointment. And there's always loss. But the secret is learning from the loss, and realizing that none of those holes are vacuums.
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.
In fact, Parkinson's has made me a better person. A better husband, father and overall human being.
The moment I understood this - that my Parkinson's was the one thing I wasn't going to change - I started looking at the things I could change, like the way research is funded.
I mean, I enjoy my work as an actor. But to make a difference in people's lives through advocacy and through supporting research - that's the kind of privilege that few people will get, and it's certainly bigger than being on TV every Thursday for half an hour.
