If you're missing three or four limbs, you have special challenges going forward. And the last thing you want is to not be independent in your home.

You learn from things that don't go well, and you try to capitalize when they do. You build on those strengths and try to make your weaknesses stronger.

Unless you have a long-running series, most actors just go job to job if you're lucky to keep working. You just do a movie or a play or a TV thing, and it's over at some point.

I liked 'Diff'rent Strokes' up until about the last three or four years. I was bored.

The chance to play a romantic character who kisses somebody onscreen was one of the elements that made me want to do 'The Stand.' The more you can do, the better, and I've been known as a character actor.

Will Ferrell is about as funny as leprosy, except without the possibility of seeing someone with missing limbs.
