[On her mastectomy:] Fact is, I’m the same car I always was, except now I have a dent in my fender.

You hear about people your whole life, ‘So-and-so has cancer,’ and you’re like, ‘Wow, that’s too bad,’ and then most people tend to go about their day. But when someone tells you that it’s your father or it’s your family, that doesn’t tend to go away.
When you have a life-threatening illness like cancer, and you’re faced with the alternative, it gives doing whatever it is you do a much sweeter taste.
