"When you have cancer, you can define the trivial from the important very quickly." — Paul Henderson

I'm not nearly as important as I used to think I was. It's a wonderful discovery.

I thought happiness came from achievement.

I just refuse to worry or get upset or be fearful. It doesn't do one particle of good.

We grew up very poor, and I hated being poor. I was the oldest of five kids, and I never got a pair of skates until I was nine. It was very difficult to get an education back then and play junior hockey.
