An Interview With Crazy, Sexy, Kris Carr

An Interview With Crazy, Sexy, Kris Carr


 
1. You were so young when you were diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. The average Jane might have pulled a “Poor Me” (and I’m sure you had your moments). But you did this whole Pick-Yourself-Up, Brush-Yourself-Off routine that is outrageously inspiring. How did that happen?

It happened in the mirror. I was crying in the bathroom of an oncologists office, trying to hide my terror from my family and I just looked in the mirror and said, “Hell no.” The jackass had just given me an expiration date and suggested I do experimental treatments that would hack up my body but not cure me. The cancer I have has no cure. So we left the office and went to Whole Foods. I mean where else do ya go? That’s when I decided to take my power back and learn how to truly take care of myself so that I could participate in my health, instead of my disease.

2. Your reaction to your cancer diagnosis was to film your award-winning documentary Crazy Sexy Cancer. What inspired you to take life’s lemons and start juicing lemonade?

Death teaches you a lot about life! Here I was fighting for a life that I wasn’t having a good time living. Because the disease I have is slow moving I actually had time to deal with me and as a result I began to live with passion, action, and love. Damn does that feel good!
