|---|---|
| 1 | [2007 interview] Since I was 9, I'd been told what to say, what to think. I plan to spend the second half of my life free. I've never been happier. |
| 2 | I never thought of myself as handsome. |
| 3 | When you're a celebrity, people think they know you, but they don't have a clue. |
| 4 | [about his church's influence on his finally getting clean and sober] When I listened to this guy on the radio, he seemed to understand what was going on with me. So Maylo and I checked this guy out at his church. We sat in the back and had a terrific time. People were warm and friendly. They didn't seem to mind that I was dressed in leather and that my girlfriend had purple hair. It didn't matter to them what we looked like or who we were. It only mattered that we were there. |
| 5 | I had older brothers and sisters who were high achievers, and I felt different, misunderstood by my family. That's not my family's fault; it was my perception. |
| 6 | I didn't become an actor because I wanted to act. Actually, I wanted to become a marine biologist. But most of all, I wanted to be accepted. |
| 7 | You get to a point where you have one of two choices. You either put a gun to your head or you pray. |
