I've overcome physical and mental brutality - and fought back.

When someone was hitting me, or like sexually molesting me, it just seemed normal to continue to do that to myself.

I've overcome physical and mental brutality - and fought back.

I have a temper, but I wouldn't call me abusive.

I've stood my ground in life, alone, even against overwhelming forces with the might and money to crush me.

Things with my dad were pretty good until I won an Academy Award. He was really loving to me until I got more attention than he did. Then he hated me.

I never dreamed that shooting a film would be so hard. There was less regulation then of child actors' hours. Even the concept of acting confused me.
