I deeply believe in one's own positive will to overcome even the most daunting challenges.

Before my mother died, she made me promise to do everything that could be done to make sure my father was not left alone after she was gone.

I thought Marilyn Monroe was the most beautiful woman in the world and Elizabeth Taylor breathtaking. But when I see myself on the screen I say: 'Oh shoot! What are they talking about?'

I'm holding onto the hope that there is some reason that I got cancer and there is something - that may not be very clear to me right now - but that I will do.

I like it when you're under the ocean, and all you can feel is calm

Stress is what feeds your cancer. Stress is what gives you cancer and then there's the paparazzi giving you stress.

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