When you're a short actor you stand on apple boxes, you walk on a ramp. When you're a short star everybody else walks in a ditch.
From Michael J. Fox
I think the scariest person in the world is the person with no sense of humor.
I have no choice about whether or not I have Parkinson's. I have nothing but choices about how I react to it. In those choices, there's freedom to do a lot of things in areas that I wouldn't have otherwise found myself in.
The more I expect, the more unhappy I am going to be. The more I accept, the more serene I am.
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.
The least amount of judging we can do, the better off we are.
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.
My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations.
I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence I can reach for; perfection is God's business.
After a year or so I really thought I was Howard Hughes. Here I was at eighteen years old, getting all these checks.
