I Was Lucky. I Had Some Really

I Was So Sad From Losing Two Of My Dogs And My Mother. I Had This Vision Of All These Animals Sitting Behind Bars. They Had No Control And Were Scared. That's Why I Got Into Fostering And Adopting Animals Out.

I Didn't Have A Clue. I Grew Up Protestant In Connecticut At The Saugatuck Congregational Church. We Didn't Talk About The Devil. That's Catholicism. And So, That Was My Safety Net. And I Always Say, It's Probably A Good Thing They Didn't Hire A Catholic Child, Who May Have Heard About The Devil, The Things That Were In The Closet. And No One Wanted To Discuss Them.

Warner Brothers Had To Hire [a Stunt Double] And No One Thought A Child Could Do This. Billy Friedkin Came To Me Before We Were Filming [the Exorcist] And Said "if You Do Not Do All Of This Film, The Film Will Be A Joke." It's Why They Stripped The Makeup Down To The Bare Minimum, A Piece On My Chin, Piece Across My Mouth That Disfigured My Mouth. You Have Scars Here. Take Away My Eyebrows. It Was My Real Hair. Shampoo Was Put In It That Dried.

Look What They Did To Macauley Culkin. The Poor Child. I Know Because I've Been There. But I Could Say After Living My Life, Truth Will Always Win Out. And No One Can Take My Character Away From Me Anymore.

Now I Figured This Out Recently, Pretty Much If You Ask Anybody To Be Part Of A Movie, They Get A Smile On Their Face. They Do! People Are Like, Movie! Ya Know, I Don't Know. There's Something That's Magical About It.
