Michael Fox Quotations

There are places not only with adult themes or a range of things like that -- I mean, put that aside for a second -- but just things where you go, 'Can you do that on TV?'

Muhammad would never have allowed this if it were just a museum, a place to glorify the man. This is not an institution to serve as a monument or shrine. It's to continue his walk.

Nobody would choose to have a disease visited upon them. Still, Parkinson's forced me to make a fundamental life decision: adopt a siege mentality - or embark upon a life journey.

I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business.

But there was never any confusion about our roles off-camera -- Meredith (Baxter) and I were never parental surrogates.

I think this last run-up in prices really did people in.

My son will have a fairly stable future. Not one where the schoolyard talk is whose father grossed $8 million on his last picture.

This isn't some strange kind of exotic thing that's difficult to understand where we have no markers in terms of where to go.

This does not mean I am retiring from acting, producing or directing, only that I want to relieve the strain of producing and performing a weekly network series.

It's a disease that makes you uncomfortable, so, all things considered, that's not too bad. It's still a gift in that it makes one alive. To see what I've lost makes me see what I've gained and what I have.

I'm managing a physical situation. It taught me great discipline and an awareness of what I can expect from myself.

I heard from thousands of PD patients and their families about their daily struggles, their frustrations and their hopes. For me, it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. This did more than just console me, it inspired me.

I guess you guys aren't ready for this yet, but your kids are going to love it.

George Bush says we can wait. I say lives are at stake, and it's time for leadership. That's why I support John Kerry for president.

Tragically, some people are genetically more susceptible than others to agripoisons and industrial pollutants. Genetic engineering to correct these medical problems is a narrow (reductionistic) and instrumental (mechanistic) response to a problem that is fundamentally conceptual: namely, our attitude toward life and our mistreatment of the Earth, plants, and animals-and ourselves in the process.

We know from the truths of evolution and ecology that we are all related and interdependent. Anthropomorphism (crediting animals with human emotions and traits) is, however, outdated. Rather we know that we are like animals.

Anthropocentrism, regarding human kind as the very center and pinnacle of existence, is a disease of arrested development.

We are not superior. There are no clear distinctions between us and animals.

Man is the most dangerous, destructive, selfish, and unethical animal on earth.

The missing link between animals and a truly humane mankind is man himself, who does not yet see himself as a part of the world, claiming it instead for himself.

Understanding your dog and knowing how to control him, develop his potentials, and resolve behavior problems, emotional conflicts and frustrations are no less essential than love and respect.
