People's view of cancer will change when they have their own relationship with cancer, which everyone will, at some point.

• I'm not someone who likes to have my picture taken, let alone see it plastered all over the place.
• The goal seems to me at times just to be business first.
• People's view of cancer will change when they have their own relationship with cancer, which everyone will, at some point.
• I believe that no matter what you do in life, if you learn the basics through theater, it will help you in everything else - problem solving, communication, discipline, all of that stuff.
• Traits like humility, courage, and empathy are easily overlooked - but it's immensely important to find them in your closest relationships.
• The thing about death is that it's honest.
• I think the way we talk about cancer has really evolved. I remember the way my grandmother used to talk about it, like a death sentence, no-one would even mention the word.
• I think everyone's experience with a terminal disease is so deeply personal and unique to the person, the context in which they're living and the relationships that they have.
• My experience is that's rare - that you have a script that is... what they call 'film-ready.'
• My family is from the South, and I can remember all those ladies I grew up with, like my great-aunts, who had handkerchiefs. There's something sweet about them.
