I Think People Have Always Liked In

What's It Like Being Opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger? For Me? Are You Kidding? Maybe If I'm Lucky, Come Up To His Navel!

Everybody Either Wanted To Take Care Of Me Or Push Me Around, You Know? I Was Teased A Lot, Sure I Was, Of Course. Fourth Grade, Fifth Grade, Sixth Grade, Everybody Was Taking Their Spurts Except Me. I Was Not Growing Up.

I Was Always Trying To Make Up For My Size, To Compensate. So To Get People To Take You Seriously, You Have To Come At Things With A Great Deal Of Strength. You Have To Emphasize That The Way You Are Is Unusual. That You Don't Come Along Every Day.

When I Was 16, Nobody Else Talked Like Me. Nobody Else Sounded Like Me.

For Me To Want To Be An Actor Was An Improbable Idea. I Wasn't Beautiful Or Pretty In Any Conventional Way. I Wasn't An Ingenue At 22. But I Was Always Certain Of It And Certain Of Its Power. I Felt The Power When I Went To The Theater At 9, 10, 12 And 14.
