Cancer's like the ultimate excuse. Who's gonna say, 'Oh, no, you have to show up for this one?' 'Hey, I got cancer. I can't be there.' It's the ultimate eraser.

All men, and women, and everything in between are created equal.

There's a point when your tape of life runs off the reel and there's this stillness of your own - I got to know myself.

I have that gene mutation too and it’s not something I would believe in for myself. I wouldn’t call it the brave choice. I actually think it’s the most fearful choice you can make when confronting anything with cancer. My belief is that cancer comes from inside you and so much of it has to do with the environment of your body. It’s the stress that will turn that gene on or not.

I don't think anyone masters parenthood.

Chemotherapy tests your sanity.

We have a choice every day between fear and love.
