Actor Michael J. Fox recently gushed about his wife, Tracy Pollan, saying she “gives our family everything we need.” At the SXSW premiere of his film, “Still: a Michael J. Fox Movie,” Fox told People Magazine<\/em>, “Any good in our family, anything good that we do, comes from her. ”<\/p>\n

Pollan added that she thinks listening to each other and knowing when to give your spouse space has helped make their 35-year marriage last. She said, “I think we really listen to each other; we are there for each other when we need each other. And then we also give each other space when that’s needed. Just feeling off of what’s needed at the moment and trying to be there. ”<\/p>\n

Pollan and Fox married in 1988 at the height of his “Back to the Future” fame. They’ve remained committed to each other through the development of Fox’s Parkinson’s Disease, which he was diagnosed with at 29. At the Texas festival, Fox said he doesn’t have time to feel sorry for himself. He told People<\/em>, “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, so let’s do that and move on.”<\/p>\n

Fox shared a photo of them on the red carpet ahead of the screening, writing on Instagram, “Thank you, Austin! It was an honor to screen our movie STILL @sxsw.”<\/p>\n
