In the morning, I'll usually do eggs and toast, but at night I keep it all protein. ~ Joel Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Joel Parkinson

"It was like a Semtex explosion in my brain. I did not know whether to cry or run away. ~ Will Once
Parkinson quotes by Will Once
You tell your kids that no matter what, you set your goals and you go for them. Whatever it is you achieve, never give up. You want your kids to have that good attitude, the confidence, and the will power to believe in themselves. ~ Joel Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Joel Parkinson
The man whose life is devoted to paperwork has lost the initiative. He is dealing with things that are brought to his notice, having ceased to notice anything for himself. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
In fact, Parkinson's has made me a better person. A better husband, father and overall human being. ~ Michael J. Fox
Parkinson quotes by Michael J. Fox
Practically every day, there is a story in the newspapers about a new breakthrough drug on Parkinson's. ~ Mort Kondracke
Parkinson quotes by Mort Kondracke
As long as I'm getting waves and having fun, the results tend to take care of themselves. ~ Joel Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Joel Parkinson
The mind reels at the multiplication of books intended to justify the author's promotion from assistant to associate professor. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
My favorite meal to make is seared ahi, and my wife does the most amazing pear salad. ~ Joel Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Joel Parkinson
The snow, which had fallen quietly at first, was now pelting against the windowpanes, driven by a wicked wind; the storm was rapidly assuming proportions of a blizzard. ~ Frances Parkinson Keyes
Parkinson quotes by Frances Parkinson Keyes
Fat' is usually the first insult a girl throws at another girl when she wants to hurt her.

I mean, is 'fat' really the worst thing a human being can be? Is 'fat' worse than 'vindictive', 'jealous', 'shallow', 'vain', 'boring' or 'cruel'? Not to me; but then, you might retort, what do I know about the pressure to be skinny? I'm not in the business of being judged on my looks, what with being a writer and earning my living by using my brain…

I went to the British Book Awards that evening. After the award ceremony I bumped into a woman I hadn't seen for nearly three years. The first thing she said to me? 'You've lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you!'

'Well,' I said, slightly nonplussed, 'the last time you saw me I'd just had a baby.'

What I felt like saying was, 'I've produced my third child and my sixth novel since I last saw you. Aren't either of those things more important, more interesting, than my size?' But no – my waist looked smaller! Forget the kid and the book: finally, something to celebrate!

I've got two daughters who will have to make their way in this skinny-obsessed world, and it worries me, because I don't want them to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I'd rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny – a thousand things, before 'thin'. And frankly, I'd rather they didn't give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman st ~ J.K. Rowling
Parkinson quotes by J.K. Rowling
The smaller the function, the greater the management. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson's is very hard to diagnose. So when I finally went to a neurologist, and he said, 'Oh, you have Parkinson's disease,' I was completely shocked. ~ Linda Ronstadt
Parkinson quotes by Linda Ronstadt
Anything can happen at Pipeline; it's one of those waves where the most amazing wave can come through in one minute, and then nothing can happen for an hour. ~ Joel Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Joel Parkinson
A half century of living should put a good deal into a person's face besides a few wrinkles and some unwelcome folds around the chin. ~ Frances Parkinson Keyes
Parkinson quotes by Frances Parkinson Keyes
You have to prepare yourself physically as much as possible for a bad wipeout. ~ Joel Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Joel Parkinson
I like to make people look as good as they'd like to look, and with luck, a shade better. ~ Norman Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Norman Parkinson
Deliberative bodies become decreasingly effective after they pass five to eight members. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
My life has been amazing. How many other ladies of 76 can say that the snapshot on their senior citizen's card was taken by Norman Parkinson? ~ Carmen Dell'Orefice
Parkinson quotes by Carmen Dell'Orefice
The onset of one religion can be resisted only by another. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
The Law of Triviality ... briefly stated, it means that the time spent on any item of the agenda will be in inverse proportion to the sum involved. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
In Parkinson disease, double vision arises from the inability of the eyes to keep pace with each other. ~ Sotirios Parashos
Parkinson quotes by Sotirios Parashos
I think life without Coronation Street would be unthinkable. It's part of all our lives. ~ Michael Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Michael Parkinson
I used to be tense or nervous before heats. But I've learned to get rid of the negative stuff and just stay relaxed and positive - and it seems to be working for me. ~ Joel Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Joel Parkinson
You have until midnight."
The silence swallowed them all again. Every head turned, every eye in the place seemed to have found Harry, to hold him frozen in the glare of thousands of invisible beams. Then a figure rose from the Slytherin table and he recognized Pansy Parkinson as she raised a shaking arm and screamed, "But he's there! Potter's there! Someone grab him!"
Before Harry could speak, there was a massive movement. The Gryffindors in front of him had risen and stood facing, not Harry, but the Slytherins. Then the Hufflepuffs stood, and almost at the same moment, the Ravenclaws, all of them with their backs to Harry, all of them looking toward Pansy instead, and Harry, awestruck and overwhelmed, saw wands emerging everywhere, pulled from beneath cloaks and from under sleeves. ~ J.K. Rowling
Parkinson quotes by J.K. Rowling
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
I stay away from big chunks of carbs and try to keep it lean, even when I'm competing. ~ Joel Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Joel Parkinson
Where life is colorful and varied, religion can be austere or unimportant. Where life is appallingly monotonous, religion must be emotional, dramatic and intense. Without the curry, boiled rice can be very dull. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
T]he state Republican chairman, Gaylord Parkinson, postulated what he called the Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican. ~ Ronald Reagan
Parkinson quotes by Ronald Reagan
I apologize if there's a Parkinson's painter in the audience. I assume you do your best work in the morning. Probably gets abstract by noon. ~ Daniel Tosh
Parkinson quotes by Daniel Tosh
I happen to be a Parkinson's patient. I'm not fearful of my condition or my future - but if someone is looking in my eyes for fear, then they see their own fear reflected back at them. ~ Michael J. Fox
Parkinson quotes by Michael J. Fox
I had plenty of invites and chances to party when I just started on tour, but I knew partying would prevent me from achieving my surfing potential. ~ Joel Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Joel Parkinson
The most important thing is to bring people with Parkinson's into our world and for the public to have a real understanding of it, as they're beginning to have with autism. ~ Helen Mirren
Parkinson quotes by Helen Mirren
You only need two waves in a heat, so I try and keep my surfs short and sweet and not too draining. Keep them intense and try and get the two best waves I can. ~ Joel Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Joel Parkinson
When prescribing one of the drugs I take, my doctor warned me of a common side effect: exaggerated, intensely vivid dreams. To be honest, I've never really noticed the difference. I've always dreamt big. ~ Michael J. Fox
Parkinson quotes by Michael J. Fox
When if comes to ballyhoo, Muhammad Ali made Barnum and Bailey look like non-starters, and he had the incandescent quality of the real star which would have made him famous, even if his gift was knitting not fighting. ~ Michael Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Michael Parkinson
Anybody who's been married to a man for forty odd years knows he's all talk. ~ Michael Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Michael Parkinson
One of the great things about Parkinson's, in a superficial way, is it relieved me of vanity. I don't worry about what I look like, because it's literally out of my hands. But on a deeper level, it gives you a real humility, because you have to deal every day with the fact that you compromise. ~ Michael J. Fox
Parkinson quotes by Michael J. Fox
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. ~ Michael J. Fox
Parkinson quotes by Michael J. Fox
I did a lot of serious plays, and I did the Oxford Review as well, which is supposed to be funny, but I'm not sure how funny we were when we did it. Then, when I finished my course, it was only then that I decided to go to drama school and try and do acting because I was enjoying it so much and so on. ~ Katherine Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Katherine Parkinson
As much as Parkinson's is about movement, the end stage is being frozen. So the more I let that happen, the more I'm gonna be stuck within that and unable to reverse it. ~ Michael J. Fox
Parkinson quotes by Michael J. Fox
I admire any woman who does stand-up, but frankly I'd rather pull out my own eyelids. ~ Katherine Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Katherine Parkinson
Inflammation is the cornerstone of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis - all of the neurodegenerative diseases are really predicated on inflammation. ~ David Perlmutter
Parkinson quotes by David Perlmutter
I like there to be a joke in practically every photo I take. Nobody has the right to make photography boring. ~ Norman Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Norman Parkinson
One does not permit one's friends to be slandered in time of trouble. ~ Frances Parkinson Keyes
Parkinson quotes by Frances Parkinson Keyes
They were both sad that their love had died, but they agreed that there was nothing they could do about it. They would just have to part. ~ Siobhan Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Siobhan Parkinson
I have always been allergic to telephones. As far as I am concerned, they are very seldom time-savers and very often the destroyers of schedules. ~ Frances Parkinson Keyes
Parkinson quotes by Frances Parkinson Keyes
In Wisconsin, We're at the forefront of research that might one day bring cures for diseases like Parkinsons and Alzheimers, and we must seize its great potential. ~ Jim Doyle
Parkinson quotes by Jim Doyle
For me, I like to keep it real simple; I just worry about myself, the waves, and my surroundings. ~ Joel Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Joel Parkinson
As soon as I get bored, I start missing the kids, so I don't let myself get bored. I just go surfing. ~ Joel Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Joel Parkinson
When any organizational entity expands beyond 21 members, the real power will be in some smaller body. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
Expenditure rises to meet income. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
I don't think [Parkinson's] is Gothic nastiness. There's nothing on the surface that's horrible about someone with a shaky hand. There's nothing horrible about someone in their life saying, "God, I'm really tired of this shaky hand thing" and me saying, "Me, too." That's our reality. We have no control over it. ~ Michael J. Fox
Parkinson quotes by Michael J. Fox
Most people in the U.K. discovered me playing a standard on Parkinson. In America, it was on VH1 singing an original called 'All At Sea,' which is a contemporary pop song. So the people that know me there tend to think of me in the singer/songwriter category. ~ Jamie Cullum
Parkinson quotes by Jamie Cullum
Parkinson's Fourth Law: The number of people in any working group tends to increase regardless of the amount of work to be done. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
Control is illusory. No matter what university you go to, no matter what degree you hold, if your goal is to becomes master of your own destiny, you have more to learn. ~ Michael J. Fox
Parkinson quotes by Michael J. Fox
Parkinson's Law is a purely scientific discovery, inapplicable except in theory to the politics of the day. It is not the business of the botanist to eradicate the weeds. Enough for him if he can tell us just how fast they grow. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
No creaking gates, no gothic towers, no shuttered windows. Yet for the past ten months this house has been the focus of an astonishing barrage of supernatural activity. ~ Michael Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Michael Parkinson
I'm going to get myself one of those, um, movable computers - what do you call them ... ? Laptops! I am bad. I still call my radio a wireless. ~ Katherine Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Katherine Parkinson
I take the medication for myself so I can transact, not for anyone else. But I am aware that it is empowering for people to see what I do and, for the most part, people in the Parkinson's community are just really happy that Parkinson's is getting mentioned, and not in a pitying way. ~ Michael J. Fox
Parkinson quotes by Michael J. Fox
The more time you have to do things, the less you are able to get done. ~ Joyce Rachelle
Parkinson quotes by Joyce Rachelle
It's not so much about what you ask as what you don't ask. ~ Michael Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Michael Parkinson
You know how some people are - they always feel they have to do things for other people's good, no matter what happens to the other people in the process! ~ Frances Parkinson Keyes
Parkinson quotes by Frances Parkinson Keyes
If you want to double your productively, shorten the timeline to by 50%. ~ Richie Norton
Parkinson quotes by Richie Norton
PARODY OF "YOU'RE THE TOP" BY COLE PORTER
You're the pop
You're the baby's father
You're the pop
But you needn't bother
I will make no claim to your ancient name at all
When I let you make me
You promised you'd take me to the city hall
My mistake wasn't getting plastered,
What a break for the little b***stard
I was bad when I let you get on top
But if baby I'm the momma,
You're the pop!
[Sung by Elaine Stritch when interviewed by Michael Parkinson on YouTube. ~ Cole Porter
Parkinson quotes by Cole Porter
I have no choice about whether or not I have Parkinson's. I have nothing but choices about how I react to it. In those choices, there's freedom to do a lot of things in areas that I wouldn't have otherwise found myself in. ~ Michael J. Fox
Parkinson quotes by Michael J. Fox
He had Parkinson's disease for about, I'd say diagnosed for about 11 of the last years of his life. And treatment was not as good as it is now, of course. We're still going along and he died in '85 and he was 77. ~ Lynn Redgrave
Parkinson quotes by Lynn Redgrave
The man who is denied the opportunity of taking decisions of importance begins to regard as important the decisions he is allowed to take. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
Some genetic variants can be informative about one's risk for Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. ~ Anne Wojcicki
Parkinson quotes by Anne Wojcicki
Just as Parkinson's isn't a big topic of conversation in my house, neither is my career. ~ Michael J. Fox
Parkinson quotes by Michael J. Fox
No king or minister could have instructed Newton to discover the law of gravity, for they did not know and could not know that there was such a law to discover. No Treasury official told Fleming to discover penicillin. Nor was Rutherford instructed to split the atom by a certain date ... ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
Wherever the truth lies, in order to eliminate flicker, the rotating shutter within the projector has to allow each image to be flashed upon the screen twice. Thus, whenever we watch a movie, we spend half the time gazing at an optical illusion and the other half sitting in the dark in front of a blank screen. ~ David Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by David Parkinson
Then she felt herself, she said, to enter into the very bosom of God, where she was transformed into her Beloved, so completely that not all the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil could ever separate her from His love...She gave them a conviction that she could find no pleasure on earth except in the contemplation of the divine mercy. ~ Frances Parkinson Keyes
Parkinson quotes by Frances Parkinson Keyes
No boxer in the history of boxing has had Parkinson's. There's no injury in my brain that suggests that the illness came from boxing. ~ Muhammad Ali
Parkinson quotes by Muhammad Ali
Fear is a bastard. Fear is an attention whore. I want to ask fear if it has mommy issues, because that's the only reason I can think why it needs attention so bad. I want fear to get Parkinson's. Then maybe fear will know how it feels to be on the run from something it doesn't understand. ~ Anne Clendening
Parkinson quotes by Anne Clendening
Presenting feels like it did 50 years ago, but the pay's a lot better. ~ Michael Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Michael Parkinson
Miss Parkinson lived alone in a big bay-windowed house of Edwardian brick with a vast garden of decaying fruit trees and untidy hedges of gigantic size. She was great at making elderberry wine and bottling fruit and preserves and lemon curd and drying flowers for winter. She felt, like Halibut, that things were not as they used to be. The synthetic curse of modern times lay thick on everything. There was everywhere a sad drift from Nature. ~ H.E. Bates
Parkinson quotes by H.E. Bates
To be brutally honest, for much of that time, I was the only person in the world with Parkinson's. Of course, I mean that in the abstract. I had become acutely aware of people around me who appears to have the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, but as long as they didn't identify with me, I was in no rush to identify with them. My situation allowed, if not complete denial, at least a thick padding of insulation. ~ Michael J. Fox
Parkinson quotes by Michael J. Fox
It seems that now is the time to take risks and strike. ~ Roger Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Roger Parkinson
Imagination is essential and it comes first, for without imagination we are aimless. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
It's the way surfing is - you grow up surfing together, and then you're thrown into a heat at Pipe or a world title bout against one another. ~ Joel Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Joel Parkinson
A sermon expands to fill the time allotted to complete. it ~ Peggy Noonan
Parkinson quotes by Peggy Noonan
I figure there's no point in stressing about what's out of my control, and all I can do is make the best of what I've got. ~ Joel Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Joel Parkinson
Administrators make work for each other so that they can multiply the number of their subordinates and enhance their prestige. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
Expenditures rise to meet income. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
I've become one of those women who thrusts her engagement finger out all the time. ~ Katherine Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Katherine Parkinson
I was brought up on choirs and brass bands. They formed the music of my childhood. When I heard the Treorchy Male Choir at the Royal Variety Performance it brought back such happy memories. You have your own eminent place in the history of British music. You stand for excellence in a great tradition and your work for charity is both an example and an inspiration. ~ Michael Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Michael Parkinson
A committee grows organically, flourishes and blossoms, sunlit on top and shady beneath, until it dies, scattering the seeds from which other committees will spring. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
I didn't know why I couldn't sing - all I knew was that it was muscular or mechanical. Then, when I was diagnosed with Parkinson's, I was finally given the reason. I now understand that no one can sing with Parkinson's disease. No matter how hard you try. And in my case, I can't sing a note. ~ Linda Ronstadt
Parkinson quotes by Linda Ronstadt
A photographer without a magazine behind him is like a farmer without fields. ~ Norman Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Norman Parkinson
I've been on the tour for 12 years, and the big dream has always been to get a world title. ~ Joel Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Joel Parkinson
Taking the way that opens, even if it seems hardly more than a footpath, not infrequently leads to the highways of heart's desire, if not to fame and fortune. ~ Frances Parkinson Keyes
Parkinson quotes by Frances Parkinson Keyes
I could never bear to be buried with people to whom I had not been introduced. ~ Norman Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Norman Parkinson
Parkinson's is described as a progressive idiopathic neurodegenerative disorder, a brain disease that will worsen with time for which no cause has as yet been identified. ~ David Perlmutter
Parkinson quotes by David Perlmutter
Because I'd done 30 plays or so at Oxford, I thought that I was an actress anyway because that's what I was doing! ~ Katherine Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Katherine Parkinson
Delay is the deadliest form of denial. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
The chief product of an automated society is a widespread and deepening sense of boredom. ~ C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by C. Northcote Parkinson
When I enjoy my surfing, I get good results, and I've always had fun in South Africa. ~ Joel Parkinson
Parkinson quotes by Joel Parkinson
Leo, sadly, has Parkinson's, but he used to cook all sorts of dazzling things. ~ Jilly Cooper
Parkinson quotes by Jilly Cooper
The first part of my life was to be an actor and maybe have some success at that. Then [it was time] to find somebody to be in a relationship with and have a life that way. Because of Parkinson's, I had to change: How can I be of service here? Is there something unique to my situation that I can use to help people? I did not have the wherewithal to invent that. It just happened in front of me and had me join in. ~ Michael J. Fox
Parkinson quotes by Michael J. Fox
