I love working closely with people.

I don't think you should exploit your own pain.

When you're dying, you're liberated to do what you want to do. You give yourself permission. I think everyone's experience with a terminal disease is so deeply personal and unique to the person, the context in which they're living and the relationships that they have.

Traits like humility, courage, and empathy are easily overlooked - but it's immensely important to find them in your closest relationships.

I think the way we talk about cancer has really evolved. I remember the way my grandmother used to talk about it, like a death sentence, no-one would even mention the word.
Laura Linney
Image
What people can survive and what they don't survive is shocking to me. Someone can go to Iraq and be blown to bits and survive. Someone can trip and fall on the street and they die - that's that.
Laura Linney
Image
I'm not someone who likes to have my picture taken, let alone see it plastered all over the place.
Laura Linney
Image
I get cold - really cold - when I travel.
