Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Robert Urich (on dealing with cancer): Charge forward with hope and get the best medical advice you can. Talk to your friends, neighbors, family, and together you attack it. We can't always control what happens to us, but we can always control how we react to it.
  Edit Share Hide
- Robert Urich: Although most civilians think of Hollywood as one big fraternity, most celebrities, as far as I know, spend very little time socializing away from the set. I am as excited as the next guy when I bump into Jack Nicholson on the golf course, or Joe Pesci at a cocktail party. I'm a fan too!
  Edit Share Hide
- Robert Urich: The experience has been a life altering one. I've always felt that my priorities were in proper alignment but this flirting with cancer has only reinforced my desire to live every day to the fullest.
