0:00.0	Do you consider cystic fibrosis a terminal illness?
0:05.0	Not for me.
0:07.0	Why?
0:10.0	Because I don't believe that's the reason I die.

1:27.8	Why did you stop at 36?
1:29.7	It's a good question. I did think that when I got to 36, I was like, you know what, I could
1:33.2	probably get to 50. But I think also I would have been single, friendless, homeless.
