Belinda: I did acupuncture and was taking Chinese herbs while I was having chemotherapy and I found it to be extremely beneficial and definitely would like to pursue it further.
Belinda: I just want to thank everybody for their support, it's overwhelming and touching. I feel like I have my own cheer squad.
Belinda: Yes, I believe in God and yes I am a very spiritual person. I've found that over the last 12 months I’ve definitely built a relationship with a higher power.
Belinda: I think people underestimate the power that they have within themselves, I really do, and I think these kinds of challenges, they force you to look that little bit deeper and see what you're really made of. I always knew I was pretty strong. I've always been pretty gutsy and pretty ballsy, but I think I surprised myself this time around.
Rove: (paying tribute to Belinda after winning three Logies in 2004) She turns the lemons in my life into lemonade.
Belinda: (at the 1999 Logies when she was nominated for the Gold Logie) It’s my 25th Birthday, and it’s also one year since I was diagnosed with cancer. I’m so happy I’m healthy and I’ve made it this far. I have my whole life ahead of me.
Georgie Parker: (Belinda’s co-star on All Saints) Everyone will remember Belinda for her kindness and wicked sense of humour. She was a beautiful girl who grew into a wonderful woman.
Rove (announcing the cancellation of Rove Live for the rest of 2006 following the death of his wife Belinda Emmett): At the moment I have no plans for Rove Live for the rest of 2006. This is a very difficult period for all of us and some time away is the best thing for me right now. In the meantime I want to extend my sincerest thanks for all of your heartfelt messages and condolences. That Belinda meant so much to so many people, genuinely means a lot to me.
