Kids Shouldn't See All The Violence They

I Had No Way To Have A Sense Of Humor About The Exorcist. I Didn't Know How. And This Enabled Me.

I Can't Answer For My Mother. She Was A Very Private Person, And Did Not Discuss A Lot Of Things.

Warner Brothers Had To Hire [a Stunt Double] And No One Thought A Child Could Do This. Billy Friedkin Came To Me Before We Were Filming [the Exorcist] And Said "if You Do Not Do All Of This Film, The Film Will Be A Joke." It's Why They Stripped The Makeup Down To The Bare Minimum, A Piece On My Chin, Piece Across My Mouth That Disfigured My Mouth. You Have Scars Here. Take Away My Eyebrows. It Was My Real Hair. Shampoo Was Put In It That Dried.

Of Course The Exorcist Changed My Entire Life. I Don't Think There Are Very Many People That Will Have The Experience Of Sitting In This Room, Doing A Job, And The Next Thing You Know You've Been On Every Television Camera Around The World, And People Are They're Frightened Of You.

I Work More Than People Realize. It Doesn't Mean You Always See The Project. Look At How Many Stations We Have. I Did A Couple Films In Australia. I Like The Movies.
