When I was making the Boxer, the movie, The Boxer with Daniel Day Lewis.

Three weeks from the end I had to leave because she had been diagnosed with leukemia.

They thought she wasn't gonna get better.

What she did is she fought back and she wanted it.

She had two years of chemo but she, she was good and she came back and, oh, sorry about that.

Just let it out.

Yeah, you here now we're all happy about it.

You're a man going through pain and you, and you're vulnerable about it.

That takes strength.

Thank you.
