I found myself with nothing to do,
he said when giving a reason for writing the book
I can't pretend that the last year hasn't had its dark moments,
Neill told The Guardian
I think I have been extremely blessed because it wasn’t something I sought,
he added
I'm very happy to be going back to work,
he said
I am alive and well and I have been in remission for eight months,
he told his Instagram followers
I just wish the headline wasn't 'that thing' so much, because the main thing is that I have written this book, it's called 'Did I Ever Tell You This?', and it does mention cancer, because that's the sort of context in which I wrote it,
he said
As I went on and kept writing, I realized it was actually sort of giving me a reason to live and I would go to bed thinking, I'll write about that tomorrow … that will entertain me,
he said
