“I didn't just want to be a poster boy and sign on to publicize somebod...” — Michael J. Fox Quote

“I didn't just want to be a poster boy and sign on to publicize somebody else's method of operations. If I was going to put myself out there, I wanted to make sure that it was to an end. So I got involved with this congressional hearing about Parkinson's being underfunded.”

“I love the irony. I'm perceived as being really young and yet I have the clinical condition of an old man.”

“I believe that the majority of times the scale tilts toward the good. It's this amazing thing that rolls on and if we get in the flow of it, that's God. And if we fight it, if we swim the other way, we're swimming away from the purest expression of this life.”

“You've probably read in People that I'm a nice guy - but when the doctor first told me I had Parkinson's, I wanted to kill him.”

“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.”

“Each week, I will release a public schedule of how I am spending my time, and who I am meeting with in my Congressional office.”

“There are a lot of anachronisms in Washington, but the need to periodically raise the debt limit by Congressional vote is certainly one of them.”

“We must use all the tools of American power in resolving disputes, including diplomacy. And we must have sufficient congressional debate and oversight before ever putting another U.S. solider in harm's way.”

“An approach that phases in congressional term limits reconciles the self-interest of members of Congress with the public's desire to see these changes enacted and gives us the best chance to make term limits a reality.”

“I play in the congressional baseball game.”

“The big journals and Nobel laureates are the equivalent of Congressional leaders in science journalism.”
