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

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'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 shall charm him with such force that when I am done, he will be left lying limply on the ground, trying to remember his own name.

Some people have a peculiar faculty for denying facts.

I take everything personally- that's what being a person is all about.

But it is possible that, in the days ahead, these years we have lived through may eventually be thought of simply as a period of disturbance and regression

Utterly absorbing.... If you did not have the opportunity to witness the Soviet empire in its death throes, Lenin's Tomb will take you there.

Have you ever seen people so ugly that you have to get someone else to verify it?

I'm not of the manor born; I've never felt entitled in that way. I just came to Hollywood to be an actor. All that lifestyle stuff is something to be managed.

For some it is love undeniably. For others it is making it work, never actually knowing what it is.
