Right when I was I was diagnosed my husband and I were actively trying for a family, which is heartbreaking for us both.

Having the choice at the end of my life has become incredibly important. It has given me a sense of peace during a time that otherwise would be dominated by fear, uncertainty and pain.

There is a difference between a person who is dying and a person who is suicidal. I do not want to die. I am dying.

Americans around the country who came forward to make my 'bucket list' dream come true.

To have control of my own mind... to go with dignity is less terryfying. When I look at both options I have to die, I feel this is far more humane.

The reason to consider life and what's of value is to make sure you're not missing out. Seize the day. What's important to you? What do you care about? What matters? Pursue that. Forget the rest.

I believe this choice is ethical, and what makes it ethical is it is a choice.

I'm choosing to suffer less. To put myself and my family through less pain.

Spread good energy. Pay it forward!

I won't live to see the death-with-dignity movement reach critical mass, but I call on you to carry it forward.

I held a nail in place and slammed it with the hammer. Best. Chore. Ever.

The winners of life's game always set and have goals in focus that they score to fulfill their purposes of existence and making the planet earth to celebrate joy

Dawn is a precious time of day. It reminds us that every glory must fade, and that all things, cruel or sweet, come to an end.

A tragic situation exists precisely when virtue does not triumph but when it is still felt that man is nobler than the forces which destroy him.

I've gone through so many of these stages of defeat and loss and victory, the ups and downs, that I know how to handle it.

You need self-confidence and determination: feeling depressed and losing hope will never really help to correct any situation.

I've always had a social awareness. My favorite channel on TV is BBC News 24. For a while, I had to have it on repeat in my house. I've always been interested in what's going on in the world.

As soon as there are 200 people in a theater watching me, I get really scared.

To Subdue an enemy without fighting is the greatest of skills

I learned it doesn't matter how you win. You play to your team's strength.
