Acting in anger and hatred throughout my life, I frequently precipitated what I feared most, the loss of friendships and the need to rely upon the very people I'd abused.

If 'Black Balloon' had come out before 'The Mummy,' casting agents wouldn't have been able to see me for the first time in 'The Mummy.' But now that 'The Mummy' has come out before 'The Black Balloon,' that's a very good combination.

Whether you do a play in front of 100 people or a movie that one billion people see, you're still affecting people.

Looking back, I wince at the careless way I tossed out my opinions.

I decided to take God and organized religion seriously, and to reject the secular life which in my teens had looked attractive because it allowed me to act in any way that I wanted.

My habit of glorifying things far away in space and time, also contributed to my social isolation.

At the time I perceived most religious men, particularly the pastors with all their talk about love, faith and relationship, as effeminate.
