I got more bands and went on the road and turn down more movies than you would believe.

Well, it was the beginning of my film career. It was amazing to me that I got nominated for an Academy Award.

I was in group therapy for years but it wasn't the same thing. It was more about growing.

I hope to have some more cracks at some wonderful roles before I go to the Great Beyond.

Well, you know, I've had a very checkered career.

It's a touchy subject, but as a Southerner, you can't ignore our history any more than a Renaissance painter can ignore the Virgin Mary. And it's impossible to drive down a road or eat a vegetable or pass a church without being reminded of slavery.
