“My university organised a casting call for a film and I won the role. ...” — Joanna Kulig Quote

My university organised a casting call for a film and I won the role. I played a character who was dying of cancer. I remember in the middle of shooting going, 'Oh my God! Why did I decide to do this?' But people noticed me in it and I started getting invited to castings.

Sometimes I like to be more simple - simple colours, to be completely empty.

I like the French kind of style because it's simple and minimal. I have blonde hair and big lips, and when I do too much I think sometimes I don't look very well, you know?

My grandmother would hide bread for when maybe another war would come. You had to be ready.

Everything was going for me, I didn't even know the meaning of the word insecurity and suddenly I am surrounded by words like operation, cancer, chemotherapy, radiation.

I haven't talked much about being an ovarian cancer survivor because I don't really want to define myself that way.

I have heard of people dying from prostate cancer, and they are the unlucky ones, the people who didn't know they had got it, and it went on the rampage.

There are certain mutations you can find across cancers in different organs.

My family has had a lot of trouble with cancer in particular. There are a lot of great causes out there but for me to pick one I would say anything that is cancer related.
