I'm impressed with the people from Chicago. Hollywood is hype, New York is talk, Chicago is work.

If your work isn't exciting, doesn't stir the emotions, where's the challenge? Where's the progress if you always play it safe?

Cancer didn't bring me to my knees, it brought me to my feet.

I'm a risk-taker. Most of my career has not been a joyful experience, but it has been challenging. I like the dangers.

I do think of myself as a bit of a loner, a bit of an independent. I'm one of those people who, when they're sick, like to curl up and remove myself. I don't like a lot of people around. There is nothing you can do to help.
