I tried acting, liked it, and stuck with it. I saw it as the way I would keep that promise to myself of getting back at those who had made my school life a misery.

My school days were the happiest days of my life; which should give you some indication of the misery I've endured over the past twenty-five years.

I fell in love with the public, the public fell in love with me, and I tried to keep it that way.

I was a loner in high school. I keep to myself, but I love life.

Through theater and acting school, I found a way to articulate myself.

I was lousy in school. Real screwed up. A moron. I was antisocial and didn't bother with the other kids. A really bad student. I didn't have any brains. I didn't know what I was doing there. That's why I became an actor.
