Asking for help is not a sign of weakness; it's actually a sign of strength.

Optimism is a muscle that gets stronger with use.

It takes courage to believe the best is yet to come.

I truly believe we are all a little bit stronger than we think we are.

I want to give people hope, To know there is another day. I can be fearful or fearless. I choose to be fearless.

I cannot believe how fine I am with being bald.

It's about focusing on the fight and not the fright.

My mama told me in college, 'I love you, and you're God's child, but natural beauty will only take you so far.'

Generally in the Little League, you're up against a good pitcher who throws like hell. What does the coach say? Get a walk. Isn't that a beautiful way to learn to hit? For four years you stand up there looking for a walk.

I never slept when I lost. I'd see the sun come up without ever having closed my eyes. I'd see that base hits over and over and they would drive me crazy.

My treatment ended in March/April of '08. It wasn't until the end of that summer that I started to feel I wasn't depressed. Even when I went on vacation to Saint Lucia, I was kind of depressed, even though it was such a beautiful place.
