I want to reclaim who I am.

If I had given up everything that my life was about ... I'd let cancer win before it needed to.

The worst thing to me would be that you put on the face you think people want to see, and then they don't like it and you think, Would they have liked the real me?

I don't expect to get yesterday's medicine. If I can help it, I'd like to get tomorrow's medicine.

Honestly, I get energized by the crowds. They feed me emotionally.

In a sense, having cancer takes you by the shoulders and shakes you.

I'm not praying for God to save me from cancer. I'm not. God will enlighten me when the time comes. And if I've done the right thing, I will be enlightened. And if I believe, I'll be saved. And that's all he promises me.
