I spoke so much about being a manic-depressive. I want to bring everyone back to my earliest memories of this companion of mine. Some people call this companion I have an ailment, or worse a terrible nightmare from which some people cannot awaken. I know that I have nothing to be ashamed of. I have nothing that should garner a stigma.

You don't have to act as if you care; you just have to care enough to act.

I said to my doctor, 'You gotta testme, there's something wrong with me that I would be behaving this way.'

I have more fun and more grand and glorious moments of my life than anyone I've never known. I know that some people call that manic-depress, and that other people call that being touched by God. I just call myself lucky.

By telling my own story, I hope to help remove the stigma. It never should be something to hide.

I don't know what its like for most actors, but really clearly for myself acting has always been the fulfillment of personal fantasies. It isn't just art, its about being a person I've always wanted to be, or being in a situation, or being a hero.

I really think that living is the process of going from complete certainty to complete ignorance.
