“In terms of sexual orientation I don't really feel I've changed. I don't feel there was a hidden part of my sexuality that I wasn't aware of. I'd been with men all my life, and I'd never fallen in love with a woman. But when I did, it didn't seem so strange.”

“I had a lumpectomy. It wasn't that bad. Six and a half weeks of radiation.”

“I don't have Steve. There is no having the Steve.”
