When I was diagnosed I didn't know how epidemic cancer was. You find out that everybody you know is touched by this disease.

I had very few skills. If I hadn't been a producer I'd been a failed actor. That would have been really disastrous.

I think being a producer makes you a problem solver, so you kind of go, "Well there's a problem. What do we do? How do we solve it?"

For me as a filmmaker, I do the projects I'm really excited about.

In my world, the hero always defeats the villain, the boy always gets the girl, and cancer is no more.

In some ways, the most rewarding thing I've done were the two times that I did the Oscars, particularly the first time because it was really like the ultimate "Let's put on a show," with every great movie star in the world available.

Cancer is everybody's cause.
