Well, right now, technically, I have no breast cancer.

So I - the thought that I would physically be different was - it's not a thrill, I have to tell you. It's kind of - it brings you up short. But I was able to look at it right away.

It eats you up. It eats you up. And you have to - I had a lot of help. I had a lot of therapy. And I was able to - because it was hard, you know, to - you can't just lay it on friends and children.

I did become American citizen in order to vote. I lived in this country for a very long time and I finally reached the point where I thought, I'm often sticking my neck out on various issues as all human beings have a right to do.

But when this happens to you - and I think other people would identify with this - suddenly, colors are brighter. You see everything.

But I'm looking at life, and I'm putting nothing off.

I'm also doing constant book readings, movies. You name it, I'm doing it.
