Michael J. Fox: We Chose To Raise The Kids Away From Limelight

Actor and Parkinson?s research advocate Michael J. Fox, 50, opens up about to PARADE about his longtime love Tracy Pollan, their four kids - Sam, 22, twins Aquinnah and Schuyler, 17, and Esm�, 10 - and coping with Parkinson's.

On raising the kids away from the limelight: ?We made a decision really early on, before the Parkinson?s diagnosis, that we?d move back East. We?d just bought a house in Bel Air [Los Angeles], but we never moved into it. We had an awakening one day that we don?t want to raise our kids in an environment that?s largely show business and built on whose father had a bigger opening weekend. It seemed fraught with peril. New York seemed like a better bet. There?s much more variety in the people that they meet and the relationships they have [in New York]. It?s much more real. They don?t live in a bubble. And I know where my kids are all the time." He adds, "We have a responsibility to make sure that they?re good people, not destructive; that they?re contributors who don?t feel entitled. They?re good kids. I can?t imagine reading about them [in the tabloids].?
