I stand before you a totally healthy person.

It's the closest to death I have ever been. The chemotherapy takes you as far down into hell as you've ever, ever been.

I've sold my soul for freedom. It's lonely but it's sweet.

Believe in yourself and what you feel. Your power will come from that.

I was constantly around all those religious images and to me, angels exist. I feel we were definitely guided and helped and I'm always referring to them in my work.

I think I've been on a path ever since I was born, a path of high stress. I put myself, my career, it was a big old juicy carrot right in front of me for all of my life.

Everybody's got a hunger no matter where they are. Everybody clings to their own fear. Everybody hides some scar - Precious pain. Empty and cold but it keeps me alive. I gave it my soul so that I could survive - keeping me safe in these chains.
