Your parents split up when you were 11, which had to have affected you. Is it possible to have a happy childhood? It’s not anybody’s fault when we have an unhappy childhood. That’s the nature of life—it’s difficult and we get hurt. If we live to be this age we’ve been hurt many, many times. I used to have this therapist, and whenever I was depressed I’d say, “God, it’s not ever going to end. I’m going to be sad forever.” And he’d say, “Well, have you ever been happy?” And I’d go, “Yeah, from time to time.” “Were you scared that that wasn’t going to end?” “No.” And he’d go, “Well, sad ends, happy ends, it’s just a cycle.” DD, Movieline, July 1998
