In the face of excruciating pain and uncertainty, I never lost hope, and it never occurred to me to stop fighting - not ever.

I'm a private person, I'm shy about people knowing things. And I'm really shy about my medical (care). It would be good if I could just go and heal and then when I decided to go out, it would be okay. It seems that there are areas that should be off-limits.

Marriages that last are with people who do not live in Los Angeles.

Cancer is a disease that is mysterious, headstrong and makes its own rules. And mine, to this date, is incurable.

As much as I would have liked to have kept my cancer private, I now realize that I have a certain responsibility to those who are fighting their own fights and may be able to benefit from learning about mine.

Cancer is my own private war. The strain, the nausea, the fever take turns challenging my strength, my mind and my spirit.

I'm too passionate about my work...Acting takes not only concentration, it takes creativity; it takes... your soul.
