Most People Call Me Mercy. I Like

Like So Many Other Recovered Alcoholics, I Am To This Day Bewildered That It Took So Long For Me To Understand That There Was No Such Animal As 'social Drinking' For Me; That It Had Nothing To Do With My Willpower Or Self-respect Or Moral Fiber, That It Was A Simple Biochemical Intolerance To A Drug.

I Think The Exorcist Was The Hardest Work I've Ever Done

Nobody Understands That By The Time The Addiction Has Set In The Alcoholic Is Mandated To Drink ... He Cannot Not Drink! Nobody Wakes Up In The Morning And Says, 'jiminy Cricket, I Feel Sensational! My Life Is Really In Great Shape! I Think I'll Become An Alcoholic!' I Firmly Believe That When A Shaking-to-pieces Alcoholic Says He Needs A Drink Or He Will Die, He Means It.

I Loved Playing The Part Of The Feisty Annie Sullivan In The Miracle Worker

I'd Stand In Line For Confession With Old People And Little Kids, And As The Line Moved Up And It Was Getting Closer To My Turn, I Knew That When I Got Into The Box I Would Lie! Again!
