Last March (2009), I discovered I had cancer. It was stage four. All I can say is people should go for check-ups; it's not as dramatic as in the movies. I got operated on and am going through chemo. I'm still not in the clear but I'm a lot better. My character is, if you're going to get cancer then you should live now. I'm not thinking about whether I'll live 10 or 15 years. My sister, a Buddhist, said you should always be engaged in life. No one really knows if you have two months or five years or [if you're going to] get hit by a car tomorrow. But if I had only two months, I would go snowboarding. I've changed my diet - no meat or alcohol. I don't want to be afraid to live; there are things I still want to do. There's no point hanging around for the sake of hanging around.
