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.
