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

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.

People always joke that 'dog' spells 'god' backwards. They should consider that it might be the higher power coming down to see just how well they do, what kind of people they are. The animals are right here, right in front of us. And how we treat these companions is a test.

We have a deep need to affiliate, to be around people, and no creature on earth spends as much of its life depending on others as we do

It's a masterpiece [The Exorcist]. This is an honor. I know you may not think so, but it really is. How many movies in our lifetime? This is an honor.

If you know me, I don't live in this dismal world. I mean, I like to have fun. My friends are comedians.

I like having little kids look at me. It's fun. They make these little faces.
