'A Child Called It' was a story about resilience, it was never about boo hoo hoo, it was about a kid that didn't quit.

My message has always been about resilience.

The reason I'm a Nixonite is because of his indestructibility and resilience. He never quit.

Childhood should be carefree, playing in the sun; not living a nightmare in the darkness of the soul.

I'm always looking for a story of survival.

What distresses me at times is that I meet a lot of people in their 40's, 50's, 60's, who still say they're a victim of child abuse.
