Then I overdosed at 28, at which point I began to accept the bipolar diagnosis.
If talking were aerobic, I'd be the thinnest person in the world.
Acting engenders and harbours qualities that are best left way behind in adolesence.
So when I was 24, someone suggested to me that I was bipolar, and I thought that was ridiculous. I just thought he was trying to get out of treating me. But he was also responding to the chaotic nature of my life.
I am a very discreet human when it comes to other people.
I think of my body as a side effect of my mind.
People are still asking me if I knew Star Wars was going to be that big of a hit. Yes, we all knew. The only one who didn't know was George.
Actually,I am a failed anorexic. I have anorexic thinking, but I can't seem to muster the behavoir
People see me and they squeal like tropical birds or seals stranded on the beach.
I like performing. I like partnering with an audience.
Sometimes I think all I want to find is a mean guy and make him be nice to me. Or maybe a nice guy who's a little bit mean to me. But they're usually too nice too soon or too mean too long.
What worries me is, what if this guy is really the one for me and I just haven't had enough therapy yet for me to be comfortable with having found him.
One of the great things to pretend is that you're not only alright, you're in great shape. Now to have that come true - I've actually gone on stage depressed and that's worked its magic on me, 'cause if I can convince you that I'm alright, then maybe I can convince me.
Mothers are great. They outlast everything. But when they're bad, they're the worst thing that can happen.
