Discussing his illness: "Well the news shocked the hell out of me. Nothing was further from my mind, since I`m only 54 and, with rare exceptions, I`d been healthy my whole life. Not that I don`t deserve to have a cancer. I`m a good athlete and I work out hard - before this happened I could bench press 300, 350 pounds, no sweat - but I`ve abused my body over the years. I don`t want people to think that everybody is a likely candidate for cancer of this type. I think I have it because for most of my life, though I was never a drunk, I drank too much. I also smoked too many cigarettes and ate a lot of wrong things. And if you do that, even if you think you`re too strong to get anything, somehow you`re going to pay."

Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now!

I was grown before I realized that other mothers didn`t put their heads in the oven.
