Acting has been my lover and best friend. My confidant and my tormentor. It has given me support and broken my heart and mended it.

I can't deny the fact that you like me! You like me!

I joined the Actors Studio and began to work with Lee Strasberg, and that changed my work.

I've grown used to being lonely over the years, so I don't seek to change it. But aren't there many people who are lonely?

I never felt safe. In high school, acting is what I did to stay sane. It wasn't about showing off; it was about revealing parts of myself that I couldn't reveal anyplace else.

My agent said, "You aren't good enough for movies." I said, "You're fired."

'Forrest Gump' is filled full of moments where your heart just cheers.
