"If you could give one piece of advice to a large group of people, what would it be?"

“Be optimistic.”

“When did you have the toughest time being optimistic?”

“Two months ago, when I got diagnosed with prostate cancer.”

“What was your initial response?”

“Depression, anxiety, fear. They caught it pretty late. Hopefully not too late, but late. There were times when I was walking down the street and I wished that I could just get shot or hit by a bus. My father died of prostate cancer when I was twelve, so you know, I assumed that was it for me.”

“So how’d you get past those feelings?”

“By going to work every day. And having a drink every night.”
