I find that I put my body in my work when I am at a particularly difficult or joyous point because I want to feel that moment.

I took on cancer like I take on everything - like a mission and a job to accomplish.

Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the greatest actors of our age; he's like Olivier. He's one of those people who can take you into a place where no one else can take you.

I love life. I think it's fantastic. Sometimes it deals hard things, and when it deals great things, you have to seize them.

People in love don't see gender, colour or religion. Or age. It's about the other person, the one that you love and who loves you. You don't think of them in terms of a label. You just go with your heart.

I hate rats. I had a pet rat to try and overcome it. I even gave him mouth-to mouth resuscitation when he had a heart attack. But I couldn't conquer it.

I feel like I've lost 10 years of my life to cancer.
