“My life before cancer was great, but if I compare that life to the one I have now, post-treatment, I wouldn’t go back there for all the money in the world. No, really: if you told me you could rewind my life so that I never had to go through cancer treatment, I would say thank you – but no thank you.”

“El amor es sencillo. Todo lo que no sea así no es amor. La vida es demasiado difícil como para complicarla más. Pero no me refiero a las dificultades del día a día: un móvil roto, un constipado, llegar tarde a una reunión importante... La verdadera dificultad de la vida es cuando te pone frente a una situación y te das cuenta de que preferirías hacer frente a todas las cosas de las que antes te quejabas, aunque llegasen a la vez. Ahí sí que estás frente a un problema.”
