It's about focusing on the fight and not the fright.

When my mother makes out her income tax return every year, under occupation she writes, eroding my daughter's self-esteem.

It was part of the reason I almost didn't go public with my diagnosis - I was embarrassed. I felt, 'Oh, I've always talked about exercising. And I got cancer.' And then I realized it's a great example of showing that cancer can hit anyone at any time.

Every now and again I just really have to have that steak or lamb chop. But yeah, B.C. - before cancer - I would eat red meat probably three or four times a week, easily. I am convinced that the amount of red meat I contributed to it.

Life is not so much what you accomplish as what you overcome.

At one point, we were all fearful. But as you get older, it's the things you don't do that you regret, more so than the things you do. When fear knocks, answer.

Optimism is a muscle that gets stronger with use.
