My life had made me funny, and cancer wasn't going to change that.

I love being a woman. You can cry. You get to wear pants now. If you're on a boat and it's going to sink, you get to go on the rescue boat first. You get to wear cute clothes. It must be a great thing, or so many men wouldn't be wanting to do it.

I've learned what I can control is whether I am going to live a day in fear and depression and panic, or whether I am going to attack the day and make it as good a day, as wonderful a day, as I can.

Fame changes a lot of things, but it can't change a light bulb.

Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

I would say that Lucy, 'I Love Lucy,' she was my idol.

There is no real security except for whatever you build inside yourself.
