I think there's a myth that people feel, that people of success are never fearful, that we're never challenged, that we have some supernova - no, we're like everybody else.
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.

Before, I would play a little hoops, a little tennis. Now it's more yoga, Pilates, stretching, some light weight work, push-ups, sit-ups, resistance things. When I used to live on the eleventh floor, I would take the steps. I don't do that so much now. I'm taking the elevator a bit more these days.

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.
I cannot believe how fine I am with being bald.
My mama told me in college, 'I love you, and you're God's child, but natural beauty will only take you so far.'
I love a doctor who can respect that somebody else is on your team, and that's God.
You don't have to be in shape to bowl. It's the only sport where there's a way to signal for a cocktail waitress.
Oh well, the truth hurts, doesn't it?
