He was diagnosed with this disease in 1991. During the Q&A session, the actor unveiled lots of facts.

Michael J. Fox said he wanted to move on with his life

During the Q&A session, of the interview, the 61-year-old talked about his condition. He said, “I didn’t have a choice. This is it. I have to give everything I have, and it’s not lip service. I show up and do the best I can.”

If you are wondering about the disease, according to the Mayo Clinic, “Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by the nerves.”
Later on, he talked about his condition, saying, “Pity is a benign form of abuse. I can feel sorry for myself, but I don’t have time for that. There is stuff to be learned from this, so let’s do that and move on.”
Moreover, he revealed the reason for making this documentary. The Family Ties star shares, “My fans have basically given me my life. I wanted to give these people who have done so much for me my time and gratitude. It was great for me to hear from all of you.”

He told director, Davis Guggenheim who was present with him at the interview, “Parkinson’s sucks, but it’s a great life, so thank you for it. I have no regrets.”

According to the logline, the story of the film, “follows the life of beloved actor and advocate Michael J. Fox, exploring his personal and professional triumphs and travails, and what happens when an incurable optimist confronts an incurable disease.”
