I saw him interviewed once and they asked about his cancer and he said that he did not find it very interesting. He said something to the effect of he finds living interesting and there's far more interesting things to talk about than his cancer. Paraphrased I don't recall exactly.

It is a touchy subject. When you have it, you don't want to think about it all the time.

You misunderstand - the message is he was far more interested in living and what he could do with his life and genuinely found the cancer not interesting compared to other things.

He wasn't just being touchy and trying to change the subject.

You misunderstand.

When someone is confronted with something as powerful as imminent mortality, it pervades all your decisions.

Both explanations can be true.
