"I value my family more than anything. That's always paramount." — Dana Reeve

I don't live in the city, I don't work in a high-risk environment, and I am not a smoker. So it was never anything that would occur to me that I would get lung cancer, but the more I have learned about lung cancer is that it is becoming much more random, and it is striking women who are under 50 and are non-smokers and not in a risk environment.

There's not a lot of creativity when you're dealing with a disability, there's not a lot of freedom and spontaneity.

I've learned a lot about grief, that it really is something that goes in cycles.

Chris didn't only leave a legacy of work. He left a legacy of love.

If I feel down, I can do what I've always done - go see a friend, walk the dog, have a cup of tea.

I made a vow to Chris when we married that I'd love him and I'd be with him in sickness and in health and I did OK with that.

Life is full of risks, and you don't want to raise someone who's afraid of taking risks, either physically or emotionally.

Chris, boy, was he ever resilient, and was he ever someone who would never give up and had tremendous discipline, and he set goals and met them.
