Michael J. Fox, the “Back to the Future” star, admitted that he’s having difficulty staying optimistic in the face of his battle with Parkinson’s disease.
“I feel sometimes I don’t want to be selling people the optimism thing because people have tough lives. Depression is real, and things happen to them that I can’t even comprehend. They make my stuff seem like Band-Aids and skinned knees,” Fox said, according to Fox News on April 30. “So I don’t want to be saying, ‘Cheer up!’ Some stuff sucks.”
