I had no way to have a sense of humor about The Exorcist. I didn't know how. And this enabled me.

Of all the projects I've worked on, I've never worked with another director like Billy Friedkin. I think he's a genius.

No animal has to suffer for me to live.

I have been a vegetarian for about 10 years. And it really was due to the reading that I did. And they explain so that you understand why it's important for the planet's survival along with compassion for animals. It certainly made it much easier for me. I lost weight really fast. My mother died from cancer so this is all very personal to me. And I just would like the planet to be a better place. And I think you'll find a vegetarian diet to be really incredible these days

Of course The Exorcist changed my entire life. I don't think there are very many people that will have the experience of sitting in this room, doing a job, and the next thing you know you've been on every television camera around the world, and people are they're frightened of you.

There was a golden retriever who saved countless lives on September 11 by going back in to find people. His companion was in a wheelchair. He got him out and kept going back in to save others.

Kids shouldn't see all the violence they do these days. But the industry just doesn't care.
