I'm very fortunate that I have a wonderful family around me and loved ones.

I'm one of those people that will say, 'My cancer was a gift.'

I don't have a bucket list because it is my dedication to live every day of my life there. I don't have a bucket list because I'm doing it that day. I don't want to go to bed and say, 'Oh, I wish I had done this.

When you grow up in one town and your life revolves around it, you are very aware of any darkness on the edge of town. That's because it's scary and it's inviting.

I always tell people I'm grateful for my cancer diagnosis because it was the greatest gift because it completely changed my life. I was able to stop and let my whole life and world just crash over me like a wave. And I stood there and went, 'Wow.' And for the first time, I stopped everything. I had to.

Instead of taking five or six of the prescriptions, I decided to go a natural route and smoke marijuana.

I taught Brad Pitt how to fly-fish in my swimming pool!
