Cheer Crazy Cancer

More From Philip K. Dick

But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. they laughed at columbus, they laughed at fulton, they laughed at the wright brothers. but they also laughed at bozo the clown.

I don't think grief of grief in a medical way at all. i think that i and many of my colleagues, are very concerned when grief becomes pathological, that there is no question that grief can trigger depression in vulnerable people and there is no question that depression can make grief worse.
Grief Thinking People
The cancer in me became an awareness of the cancer that is everywhere. the cancer of cruelty, the cancer of carelessness, the cancer of greed.
Cancer Greed Awareness
I want to find someone who's really into something like i'm really into something, so that i can support them and we can both cheer each other on. i've got a lot of dreams i want to achieve, and i hope someone can cheer me on as i'll cheer them on in their dreams.

Grief causes you to leave yourself. you step outside your narrow little pelt. and you can’t feel grief unless you’ve had love before it - grief is the final outcome of love, because it’s love lost. […] it’s the cycle of love completed: to love, to lose, to feel grief, to leave, and then to love again. grief is the awareness that you will have to be alone, and there is nothing beyond that because being alone is the ultimate final destiny of each individual living creature. that’s what death is, the great loneliness.

There's a current notion that you should "take charge of your disease." no thanks. i'm busy. i've got cancer. i'm willing to face having cancer. i'm not willing to face having cancer with homework. i promised dr. pipas and dr. zaki that i wouldn't show up with sheaves of printouts from the internet containing everything on wikipedia on malignancies. they each laughed with detectable notes of relief. although i suspect my wife has made her way into the health blog ether. fish oil pills, raw kelp, and other untoward substances started showing up on dinner plates after i was diagnosed.

People talk about the courage of cancer patients, and i do not deny that courage. i had been poked and stabbed and poisoned for years, and still i trod on. but make no mistake: in that moment, i would have been very, very happy to die.

As an actor you're only as good as the things you're offered. and there just weren't any female directors offering me things. so when you dissect that, you realize there aren't women offering you things because they don't have the opportunities. i work to raise money for women's cancers; i use my voice for violence against women.

This is another kind of competition, but i'm being coached by an excellent team, and i've got a real strong competitive spirit.
