We Have A Deep Need

I Think That If I'd Not Made The Movie, I Might Be A Veterinarian In Connecticut. I Would Probably Be Married With Some Children. That's Probably The Way It Would Be. But Because Of The Film [the Exorcist], I Don't Have A Normal Life By Somebody Else's Standards.

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.

The Only Thing I Can Say Is That People Requested,when The Exorcist It Going To Be On The Big Screen? People Want It On The Big Screen And They Want To See The Footage. I Think It's Going To Do Very Well. I Think It Will Please People, And The Fact That They Added The New Sound.

Kids Shouldn't See All The Violence They Do These Days. But The Industry Just Doesn't Care.
