I am patient zero.

I am happy to be patient zero. It is for the world, for the sick children and sick old people. My life has been good. I understand the risks but I research how people die and I am happy to say that today I do not know how I will die now. Tomorrow or in the long future I was up for a change.

I feel great, the prognosis is excellent.

So it's been a slow process and it's taken some patience. That's why patients are called patients I think - patience is required.

I'm a huge Cure fan. I love the Cure. The scales being tipped to when they weren't on a major label compared to when they were seems pretty meaningless. I had the good fortune of having them go before me and seeing their careers, musically at least, lose something. Like a novel written by a dead hand.

Nothing on 'Relapse' and very little on 'Recovery' was produced by me.

By the way, I have had zero press training.

The patient decides when it's best to go.

There's something universal about illness... Whether you like it, at some level all patients are saying, 'Daddy, Mommy, help me, tell me it's going to be alright.'

I think people are by-and-large happy with the providers that they have got now. They treasure that doctor-patient relationship.
