"If I were overweight because I ate too much, I would have far more of a complex. I would know if I just stopped eating and showed a little discipline I would be thin. But there's not a hell of a lot I can do about being short. You just gotta run with it"

- Michael J. Fox

About this Quote

This quote by Michael J. Fox talks to the concept that being obese is something that can be changed with discipline and effort, whereas being short is something that can not be altered. Fox implies that being obese is more complex than being short due to the fact that it is something that can be altered, and for that reason carries a sense of guilt and obligation. He recommends that if he were obese, he would feel a higher sense of obligation to alter it, whereas being brief is something he has to accept and "run with". This quote speaks with the idea that we can take control of our lives and make changes to improve our circumstances, but there are some things that are out of our control and we must accept them.
