mother had-enough interviews
When I was thirteen I basically asked my mother if it was possible for this to end, that I'd had enough of it. And I truly had had enough. And that was right about the time that we got a call for a movie interview.
mother answers persons
I can't answer for my mother. She was a very private person, and did not discuss a lot of things.
mother ideas devil
We didn't talk about devil on the set. My mother and I didn't talk about it. Billy Friedkin and I didn't talk about it. It was a closet subject. But it was the best thing that happened because I had no idea what I was going.
mother dog animal
I was so sad from losing two of my dogs and my mother. I had this vision of all these animals sitting behind bars. They had no control and were scared. That's why I got into fostering and adopting animals out.
mother cancer reading
I have been a vegetarian for about 10 years. And it really was due to the reading that I did. And they explain so that you understand why it's important for the planet's survival along with compassion for animals. It certainly made it much easier for me. I lost weight really fast. My mother died from cancer so this is all very personal to me. And I just would like the planet to be a better place. And I think you'll find a vegetarian diet to be really incredible these days

Modern parents want a warm and loving relationship with their children, and to be a source of encouragement, comfort and support. We want to be friends without children, not remote or frightening authority figures as our own parents may have been.

I had planned to retire when I was 13, ... I had wanted to be a veterinarian.
animal assume hard homes people providers understand walk
It's hard to understand how people can walk away from their homes and assume that their animal will fend for itself. We are the providers - the ones who need to provide the warmth, the protection, the food, the water.
stop
They were very persistent. They didn't stop writing or calling.
ignore outlook
To ignore one's spiritual self is unsettling, to say the least. That's a very profound outlook on it.
The Exorcist has been a very interesting cross to bear.
